scrolling text on window frame

StressedTechie · Mar 8, 2002

I want to put a scrolling copyright type message that appears on the window frame (not sure what you call it). I have seen it done in a template once but I cant remeber how the person did it. I viewed the source and amended but cant find it.

Can anyone help me!

Hope you can understand what I want to do.....

Thanks

You mean in the status bar??
Use this:

Code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
function snapIn(jumpSpaces,position) { 
  var msg = &quot;Welcome to My Homepage!&quot;; 
  var out = &quot;&quot;; 

  for (var i=0; i<position; i++) { 
    out += msg.charAt(i) 
  } 
  for (i=1;i<jumpSpaces;i++) { 
  out += &quot; &quot; 
  } 
  out += msg.charAt(position); 

  window.status = out; 
  if (jumpSpaces <= 1) { 
    position++; 
  if (msg.charAt(position) == ' ') { 
    position++ 
  } 
  jumpSpaces = 100-position 
  } 
  else if (jumpSpaces >  3) { 
  jumpSpaces *= .09 
  } 
  else { 
  jumpSpaces-- 
  } 
  if (position != msg.length) { 
    var cmd = &quot;snapIn(&quot; + jumpSpaces + &quot;,&quot; + position + &quot;)&quot;; window.setTimeout(cmd,10); 
  } 
  return true 
}
</SCRIPT>

And call this in the: <body onLoad="snapIn(50,0)"> ok??

This will display the message in the browser status bar...I didn't write this script, I came across it while surfing the net...but its a good script...
Hope this helps ya... I have not failed; I merely found 100,000 different ways of not succeding...
