Ticker Tape

Insert this code into your head ( <head>Insert in between here</head> )


<script language="JavaScript">
<!-- Hide the script from old browsers --
var timerID = null;
var timerRunning = false;
var id,pause=0,position=0;

function ticker() {
        var i,k,msg="YOUR MESSAGE GOES HERE";
        k=(75/msg.length)+1;
        for(i=0;i<=k;i++) msg+=" " +msg; document.form2.ticker.value=msg.substring(position,position+75); if(position++==38) position=0; id=setTimeout("ticker()",1000/10); } function action() { if(!pause) { cleartimeout(id); pause=1; } else { ticker(); pause=0; } } // --end hiding here --> </script>

Now put this inside your body code.


<body onLoad="ticker()">

An example is:

  <BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#000000" LINK="#FF0000" VLINK="#000080" 
ALINK="#000080" onLoad="ticker()">

or
<body onLoad="ticker()">

Now put this where ever you want in your HTML document


<form name="form2">
<input type="text" name="ticker" size="75">

To change the size of the ticker tape, change the number "75" to what ever size you want in the line... <input type="text" name="ticker" size="75">
