Javascript  -  Scrolling Status Bar Text

If you look at the bottom of your browser’s window, you should see a message scrolling along there every 75 seconds or so.  This is an example of a “Scroller” JavaScript.

  1. In the “Inside Head Tag” field of the “Layout Script” window, insert the following code:

    <script language="javascript">

    var scrlStr="PUT MESSAGE HERE"
    var width=140;
    var strLen=scrlStr.length;
    var pos=1-width;

    function scroll()
    {
       var scroll = "";
       pos++; if(pos == strLen) pos =1 - width;
       if(pos<0)
       {
         for(var i=1;
         i<=Math.abs(pos);
         i++)scroll=scroll+" ";
          scroll=scroll+scrlStr.substring(0,width-i+1);
        }
        else
       scroll=scroll+scrlStr.substring(pos,pos+width);
        window.status=scroll; setTimeout("scroll()",##);
    }
    </script>


    Where PUT MESSAGE HERE is the message you wish to scroll, and ## is the interval in seconds before the message replays itself.
  2. Now, insert the following code in the “Inside Body Tag” field in that same window:
    onLoad=”scroll()”
