JavaScript Scroller
|
We have had a lot of requests from people that were interested in using our
statusbar scroller that's on our front page. So here it is people! If you
would like to use it, please let us know!
We notice alot of you are now using the script and removing our (C) information. This does not give us credit when someone rips it from your page. To use the script, insert it in the beginning of your HTML document. You must also modify the <BODY> tag by adding an event to it. <BODY onLoad="TickerTape()" BACKGROUND="example.gif"...> What this does is as soon as the page loads, the onLoad event is triggered which will call the TickerTape() routine. The scroll routine was first done by MindRape back in January 1996, then later optimized by DiskDude in April 1996.
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Status Bar Banner routine Version 1.2 (No Ripped Code Here!)
