    Using scrolling text on your site

    You know, the cool scrolling text in the status window. Great for catching the attention of your surfer, and also for hiding links.

    First step:

    In your html body line add the following code:

    body onload="typew()">

    Your body line could look similar to the above statement or it can also contain other declarations to make it appear similar to:

    body onload="typew()" bgcolor="#800080" text="#FFFFFF">

    Next step:

    Add the following code anywhere in your html BETWEEN the <body onload="typew()"> and </body> lines:

    *************COPY BELOW HERE**************
    script>
    < !-- START HIDE

    // Set variables
    var curmes = 0
    var a = 0
    var counter = 0
    var message = new Array()
    message[0] = "YOUR MESSAGE LINE 1 "
    message[1] = "YOUR MESSAGE LINE 2 "
    var temp = ""
    function typew()
    {
    a = a + 1
    check()
    window.status = message[curmes].substring(0, a)
    if(a == message[curmes].length + 5)
    {
    curmes = curmes + 1
    a = 0
    }
    if(curmes > 1)
    {
    curmes = 0
    }
    counter = setTimeout("typew()", 100)
    }
    function check()
    {
    if(a <= message[curmes].length)
    {
    if(message[curmes].substring(a, a + 1) == "")
    {
    a = a + 1
    check()
    }
    }
    }
    // STOP HIDE -->
    /script>
    -->
    ***********END Copy****************

    Don't forget to add the < before the BODY ONLOAD, the SCRIPT and the Closing /SCRIPT I took these out so it would display here.

        Kat.....That would be against the rules for the click pic type programs of AP. You cannot hide the Url.

        Here is an example of the working page:

            Yes, it will slow things down a bit.

              that scrolling crap is really annoying
              when you're trying to see where a link will lead you.

              If you're trying to objectify the subjective, you need to stop breathing.

                Is this scrolling text really wise? I think it distracts the surfer and draws attention from the page contents, including your sponsor links.

                Sponsor banners excluded, the less motion on a webpage, the better !

                  I don't think so lord. What if it said " Click on my hardcore banner" etc.
