News Changer

News Changer

Here's the code and a demo of just how the news changer works

Here is the news

Copy this and place it into your <head> section. Simply change the items in the array to show whatever you want, including hyperlinks.

<style> .nborder{ border:none; border-color:#000000; background-color:#fffff0; } </style> <script> var to function showNext( i ) { clearTimeout( to ); if(i == items.length) { i = 0; } if(document.all) news.innerHTML = items[ i ]; if(document.layers) { document.layers.news.document.open(); document.layers.news.document.write('<span class=nborder>' + items[ i ] + '</span>'); document.layers.news.document.close(); } if( items[ i ].indexOf( "href" ) >= 0 ) tm = 25; else tm = 50; to = setTimeout( "showNext( "+ ++i +" )", 500 + items[ i - 1 ].length * tm ); } </script> <script> items = new Array() items[0] = "News Ticker Alike - seen anything like this on AOL?" items[1] = "<a href='www.strange-brew.com'>Gimme some of that rock and roll music.</a>" items[2] = "Another news item, or link, goes here." items[3] = "And yet more news or another link, would go here" items[4] = "The number of characters in a line is counted to estimated a total time in which the message can be read. If you include a link in the line the time is halved." </script>

Put this code in your <body> section where you want the changer the first line of text you want goes where we've got "Here is the news"

And finally put this code between your </body> and </html> tags at the bottom of your page

Back whence you came
