Text Effects - Page 4
Some of these scripts scroll information on the screen - either on the status bar (that bar on the bottom on your browser) or in a text box. Some of these scripts print out messages. Some will display news, special highlights, and others will even tell you a random quote. They range in difficulty from less than 10 lines to more than 500 lines.
Visit The JavaScript Forum for help coding scripts or general questions about the scripts themselves.

Add Commas
Modifies a number by adding commas after every third digit. For example, 123456789 is converted to 123,456,789. The script example shows this script as used on numbers of various sizes. And, it demonstrates a clever use of the modulus operator.

Alert
If you're just looking for a quick way to tell your visitor something, use this JavaScript alert! When they put their cursor on the link, they get the message in the form of a JavaScript alert!
-
Animated Message
Draw attention to the status bar message at the bottom of the screen by adding some animation to it! Arrows will focus on the message by continually pointing at the text. Clever!
-
Expanding Text
Draw attention to information on your site with JavaScript-powered expanding text! Just enter the text you want to use, the max size you want it to reach, and speed it should "grow" and it's ready to go. Neat!
-
Flasher
This script simply flashes (hence the name) a message on and off on your statusbar. This script probably got your attention better than the Classic Scroll but, is not used as much. The Flasher is just not as well known as the Classic Scroll.
-
Keyboard Slider
Now you can move images and objects across the screen by simply using keys from the keyboard. Amazing!
-
Layer Scroller
Provides controls to scroll the layer at varying speeds. Can be used with your own graphics and layout to creatively present your content.
-
Line Scroller
An impressive single line news ticker with smooth scrolling motion. Supports any valid HTML within the scroll text, including images or links. Really easy to position on your page, just place the 'tickpos' anchor where you want the scroller to appear. Easy!
-
Marquee
(Internet Explorer preferred) This JavaScript scrolls information back and forth across a page - the message appears to float back and forth! If you don't have Internet Explorer, it'll just show the message on the screen. Works great!
-
News Scroller
Scrolling words along the bottom of the page is cool and all, but this one takes the cake.... You can scroll text, links, images, buttons, basically anything you want, in a little news like box on your site. And, you can have as many 'messages' as you want. Amazing!
