Use JavaScript to alert your user with the contents of a textarea box! This serves little purpose in the real world, but nonetheless is a great example of JavaScript. Type something in the box and hit Alert Me!
Add the below code to the <body> section of your page:
<scriptlanguage="javascript"type="text/javascript"> /* Visit http://www.yaldex.com/

<!-- Begin var
Stop=false; varmax=0; function
textlist(){ max=textlist.arguments.length; for(i=0;
i<max;
i++) this[i]=textlist.arguments[i];
} tl =new
textlist( "This is the newsticker. Great
for giving visitors information. And lot's of it.", "Infinite lines to write on, and
an easy configuration - overall it's a breeze :-)", "You can configure the messages
and the size of the textarea, neat!", "Rebuilt by Igor Ivanov, Russian
programmer." );
varx=0;
pos =0; var
l =
tl[0].length; function
textticker(){ document.tickform.tickfield.value=
tl[x].substring(0,
pos)+"_"; if(pos++==
l){ pos =0; if(!Stop)setTimeout("textticker()",2000); if(++x==max)x=0; l =
tl[x].length;
