Here's an example of a simple news ticker code:

  <ul>
    <li><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="#">News Item 1</a></li>
    <li><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="#">News Item 2</a></li>
    <li><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="#">News Item 3</a></li>
  </ul>
</div>

<script>
  var ticker = document.getElementById("ticker");
  var items = ticker.children[0].children;
  var speed = 100; // adjust the speed to your liking

  function tickerLoop() {
    for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
      items[i].style.left = (i * 100) + "px";
    }
    setTimeout(tickerLoop, speed);
  }
  tickerLoop();
</script>

This code creates a simple news ticker that scrolls through a list of news items. You can customize the code to fit your needs and add more features, such as animation and hover effects.
