Textarea Scroller 



Saves a great deal of space on a page by displaying an infinite amount of news, updates, or other information to your site's visitors in a textarea box through a typewriter style display. Internet Explorer users can also see a colored background in the textarea. The size of the textarea and the messages are all customizable. Great!

<!-- THREE STEPS TO INSTALL TEXTAREA 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  -->

<!-- STEP ONE: Paste this code into the HEAD of your HTML document  -->

<HEAD>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Original:  Tarjei Davidsen (the@rescueteam.com) -->

<!-- This script and many more are available free online at -->
<!-- The JavaScript Source!! http://javascript.internet.com -->

<!-- Begin
var max=0;
function textlist() {
max=textlist.arguments.length;
for (i=0; i<max; i++)
this[i]=textlist.arguments[i];
}
tl = new textlist( 
"This is the newsticker. Great for giving visitors information. And lot's of it.",
"Infinite lines to write on, and an easy configuration - overall it's a breeze :-)",
"You can configure the messages and the size of the textarea, neat!",
"Internet Explorers can also see our newsticker backround and text color. But that will probably only work with IE.",
"Signed Tarjei Davidsen; StG member."
);

var x = 0; pos = 0;
var l = tl[0].length;
function textticker() {
document.tickform.tickfield.value = tl[x].substring(0, pos) + "_";
if(pos++ == l) {
pos = 0; 
setTimeout("textticker()", 2000); 
if(++x == max) x = 0; 
l = tl[x].length;
} else
setTimeout("textticker()", 50);
}
//  End -->
</script>
</HEAD>

<!-- STEP TWO: Insert the onLoad event handler into your BODY tag  -->

<BODY OnLoad="textticker()">

<!-- STEP THREE: Copy this code into the BODY of your HTML document  -->

<form name=tickform>
<textarea name=tickfield rows=3 cols=38 style="background-color: rgb(0,0,0); color: rgb(255,255,255); cursor: default; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px" wrap=virtual>The news will appear here when the page has finished loading.</textarea>
