The JavaScript Source: Text Effects: Message Blinker

Simply click inside the window below, use your cursor to highlight the script, and copy (type Control-c or Apple-c) the script into a new file in your text editor (such as Note Pad or Simple Text) and save (Control-s or Command-s). The script is yours!!!

<!-- THREE STEPS TO INSTALL MESSAGE BLINKER:

1.  Copy the coding into the HEAD of your HTML document
  2.  Add the onLoad event handler into the BODY tag
  3.  Put the last coding into the BODY of your HTML document  -->

<HEAD>

<style type="text/css">
.tab { font-weight:bold; font-size:12px; font-family:Arial;}
         A:link	{color:blue;}
         A:visited{color: blue;}
         A:hover	{color: red;}
    </style>

//blinks speed: message out of sight!
var msspeed=500; // 1000=1s
//background color

//Message blinking: change to your own! 
//Within a message you must use \' in lieu of ', should the case be! 
var singlemessages='<div class=tab align="center"><a class=tab href=""><u>JavaScriptSource <div class=tab>WDVL<div class=tab>WebDevelopersJournal<div class=tab>JavaBoutique</u></a></div></div></div></div>'
//...

//The Blinker's Algorithm follows:
//================================
var kkk=0;var timer1 = null;var timer2 = null;function startb(){if(document.all){iens6div=ieNS6sliderb;iens6marquee11();}else if(document.layers){ns4layerb=document.ns4sliderb0.document.ns4sliderb1;ns4layerb.visibility='show';ns4marquee11();}else if(document.getElementById){iens6div=document.getElementById('ieNS6sliderb');iens6marquee11(iens6div);}}function iens6marquee11(){iens6div.innerHTML=singlemessages;timer1=setTimeout("iens6marquee12(iens6div.style.top=msheight)",mspause);return;}function iens6marquee12(){timer2=setTimeout("iens6marquee11(iens6div.style.top=0)",msspeed);return;}function ns4marquee11(){ns4layerb.document.write(singlemessages);ns4layerb.document.close();timer1=setTimeout("ns4marquee12(ns4layerb.top=msheight)",mspause);return;}function ns4marquee12(){timer2=setTimeout("ns4marquee11(ns4layerb.top=0)",msspeed);return;}
