Status Bar Scroller

This script utilizes the status bar in the browser window to scroll a message for your visitors. Since this script uses the <body onLoad> command, I've included Stan Bisson's workaround for you to use this in SiteBuilder. I've tested it and it works! Copy (CTRL-C) and paste (CTRL-V) the script into one Insert HTML element, change the message including any spaces on each line of text, and put in the top left corner of the page without overlapping other elements. Look at your status bar for my message.

<img src="/tp.gif" width="1" height="1" onLoad="scrollit(100)">

<SCRIPT>
<!--
function scrollit(seed) {
var m1 = "Cool status bar scroller";
var m2 = " for your web pages";
var m3 = " and works in most browsers!";
var m4 = "";
var msg=m1+m2+m3+m4;
var out = " ";
var c = 1;
if (seed > 100) {
seed--;
cmd="scrollit("+seed+")";
timerTwo=window.setTimeout(cmd,100);
}
else if (seed <= 100 && seed > 0) {
for (c=0 ; c < seed ; c++) {
out+=" ";
}
out+=msg;
seed--;
window.status=out;
cmd="scrollit("+seed+")";
timerTwo=window.setTimeout(cmd,100);
}
else if (seed <= 0) {
if (-seed < msg.length) {
out+=msg.substring(-seed,msg.length);
seed--;
window.status=out;
cmd="scrollit("+seed+")";
timerTwo=window.setTimeout(cmd,100);
}
else {
window.status=" ";
timerTwo=window.setTimeout("scrollit(100)",75);
}
}
}
