Is it possible to put HTML content in a banner?
I'd like to make some informative snippets to scroll across the top of my home page. And maybe others.
I don't see an extension that does this. Prefer free if possible

Thank you

Of course .. simple switch to edit mode > add HTML > switch back to normal view - control the output, if correct save.
Note: when saving any HTML-module and the text window is not in normal mode, the content will not nbe saved!

I think he was asking about put HTML content in a banner, not a banner into a HTML content!

Maybe correct, but creating a "Banner" with HTML is not possible.
But creating any HTML content and assinging that to a position as banner is s possibility (the way I would do it ..)

Yeah the idea is to create some advertising about different thing I offer scrolling across the top of the screen. I can create images and use a banner but that is not very efficient so I thought creating mini html pages would work, load fast and be easily editable.

You do know that to most customers banners are highly irritating. If you are serious about ecommerce then your webpage should come straight to the point.

If you can't find an extension, you could pay a developer such as ourselves or post a job in the Commercial Support Forum.
