STEP 1/2: Put this code into the <HEAD> of your HTML document:
<HEAD>
<!-- INFOBOX CODE -->
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
var CurrentMsg = 'hello ';
function update(msg) {
var pad_str="";
n = msg.length;
if(n<70) {
pad = (71-n)/2;
for(var i=0; i
pad_str+=" ";
}
}
CurrentMsg = pad_str + msg;
document.messages.field.value = CurrentMsg;
clearTimeout(timer);
timer = setTimeout("idleMsg()",2000);
}
function MakeArray(n) {
this.length=n;
for(var i = 1; i<= n; i++) {
this[i] = "";
}
return(this);
}
var index = 1;
var notice_num = 10;
var notices = new MakeArray(notice_num);
notices[1] = "Welcome to The JavaScript Source Information Bar!";
notices[2] = "This is another neat script that I ran into in my travels...";
notices[3] = "You can use this script on your own web page to easily";
notices[4] = "and effectively present any information you want.";
notices[5] = "Could you picture what you could do with this?";
notices[6] = "Maybe display events, notices, or whatever works for you.";
notices[7] = "Well, take this script, and let me know how it turns out.";
notices[8] = "I forget to mention you can change the speed";
notices[9] = "Just change (\"idleMsg()\",4000) to the speed you want.";
notices[10] = "Be sure to remember that the time is in ms! Repeating...";
var timer = setTimeout('idleMsg()',2000);
function nochange() {
document.messages.field.value = CurrentMsg;
}
function idleMsg() {
update(notices[index++]);
if(index>notice_num) {
index=1;
}
}
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
STEP 2/2: Put this code into the <BODY> of your HTML document:
<BODY>
<CENTER>
<FORM name="messages" onSubmit="return false">
<input type="text" name="field" size=70 value="" onFocus="self.status='This is a JavaScript info. field'; return true" onChange="nochange()">
</FORM>
</CENTER>
</BODY>
Now change your "notices[x] " as you desire.
You're done.
