Finally, the JavaScript marquees are here, brought to you by The Omega. Soon we'll have a preview for each of those marquees.
We have the following scrolly types, ready to suit any tastes:
NOTE: The scrollies will make the text in the "msg" variable to scroll on the bottom line of your browser (that is the status bar). If you would like to make it work for a text box, do the following:
<FORM NAME="scrolly"> <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="scrollybox" SIZE=80> </FORM>
To change the text of the message:
Find the statement "msg=..." on the scrolly's code, and change the text accordingly
Here is the code for each scrolly:
Put this right after the <HEAD> tag:
<SCRIPT>
<!-- Scrolly script
// written by The Omega
// http://www.oocities.org/Area51/Corridor/4381
// the_omega@oocities.com
function bounceScrolly(num,dir){
var msg="Wanna play ping pong?"
var disp=" "
var len=msg.length
if ((num<1)||(num>150))
dir=-dir
for (var i=0;i<num;i++){disp+=" "}
disp+=msg
num+=dir
window.status=disp
Scrollytimer=window.setTimeout("bounceScrolly("+num+","+dir+")",100)}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
Add this to the <BODY> tag:
onLoad="bounceScrolly(100,1)"
Put this right after the <HEAD> tag:
<SCRIPT>

var len=msg.length

num=50
var pos2=pos-Math.floor(len/2)

A note from the scrollies' author. He has helped me so much that I'm going to put his read me file with his requests to anyone using the scrollies' code:
Ok, you really want a scrolly, don't you. Fine... Might as well use
one of mine :)
Just choose which one you want, and add the text as indicated to
your source. If you would rather have something like I had on the
example page, do the following:
To change the message:
change msg="..." to msg="your message here"
You may use these scripts as long as you leave all the comments in (the
lines with my name and stuff). I'd appreciate it if you gave me a link to
your page. If you want a graphic, download
Also appreciated would be an e-mail (the_omega@oocities.com) just to say
"hey I'm using one of your scrollies", so I know SOMEONE is!
<FORM NAME="scrolly">
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="scrollybox" SIZE=80>
</FORM>
http://www.oocities.org/Area51/Corridor/4381/helped.zip
Otherwise, a text link would be appreciated.
