    You're talking about the automatically scrolling numbers, right?

    You will need JavaScript to do that, because it's a change on the client side.

    You'll need to start with something that automatically refreshes the page:

    
<script type="text/javascript">
  setInterval('yourFunction()', 5000);
</script>
    Code (markup):
    That will run the function yourFunction() every 5000 miliseconds, or five seconds. Here's an example yourFunction() you could use:


    
<script type="text/javascript">
  function yourFunction()
  {  
      var output;  //  The number you will write to the page
      output = output + 1;
      document.getElementById("input1").value = output;  //  In this example, your HTML would have an input area with an id of "input1"
  }
</script>
    Code (markup):
    That script would add 1 to output, and update the page with output every time it was run. Of course, you'll need to use your own formulas instead of just adding one like in the example.
