The typing ticker requires input to be put in manually between two ' or " characters (I'm not sure which offhand) - using a variable there doesn't work. It requests static input and anything else won't display.

What I am understanding of pulling information from another page (html or php) which is dynamic (or static) in nature still has to be put to an output source (storage) before it can be
called, whether in the database or XML. If therefore, the XML is properly formatted as an RSS feed (regardless if it is dynamic to start with) or it is stored in the database, it can be called and used conventionally by pulling of an RSS feed or by a MySQL query.

The typerwriter ticker does not look for RSS feeds nor MySQL queries but statically [manually] inserted text (e.g. hardcoded) and displayed what it reads between those characters.

If someone can make the javascript read from a variable rather than hardcoded text, this will work.
