Multiple Message Scroller

Vasile Birsan Sep 21, 2001

This scroller supports both text and images. Size and speed are adjustable. It works with multiple messages and allows for hyperlinks to distinct URLs. Cool!

The JavaScript Source: Text Effects: Multiple Message Scroller

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 MULTIPLE MESSAGE SCROLLER:

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  -->

<!-- Begin
//slider's width
var swidth=350

//slider's height
var sheight=72

//slider's speed
var sspeed=2

//messages: change to your own; use as many as you'd like; set up Hyperlinks to URLs as you normally do: <a target=... href="... URL ...">..message..</a>
