Saves a great deal of space on a page by displaying an infinite amount of news, updates, or other information to your site's visitors in a textarea box through a typewriter style display. Internet Explorer users can also see a colored background in the textarea. The size of the textarea and the messages are all customizable.
Add the below code to the <body> section of your page:
<scriptlanguage="javascript"type="text/javascript"> /* Visit http://www.yaldex.com/

and get more free JavaScript, CSS and DHTML scripts! */
<!-- Begin 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!", "Internet Explorers can also see
our newsticker backround and text color. But that will probably only
work with IE.", "Signed Tarjei Davidsen; StG
member." );
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; setTimeout("textticker()",2000); if(++x==max)x=0; l =
tl[x].length;
}else setTimeout("textticker()",50);
} window.onload=
textticker; // End --> </script> <formname=tickform>
