var width=140;
var strLen=scrlStr.length;
var pos=1-width;

function scroll() {
var scroll = "";
pos++;
if(pos == strLen)
pos =1 - width;
if(pos<0){
for(var i=1;i<=Math.abs(pos);i++)
scroll=scroll+" ";

Is something like this any good?

<html>
<head>
</head>

<body onLoad="scroll();">

<script language="javascript">

var scrlStr="YOUR MESSAGE GOES HERE HERE IS YOUR MESSAGE"
var strLen=scrlStr.length;
var pos=strLen;

function scroll() {
if (pos < 0)
pos = strLen;
window.status=scrlStr.substr(pos,(strLen - pos));
pos--;
setTimeout("scroll()",75);
}

</script>

</body>
</html>
