Okies have tried the above site and unfortunately it's not what i'm looking for however i did pinch a few bits and bobs
thanks again for that
I must apologise cos i did actually say scroll bar message scripts when i actually meant "status bar scroll scripts" ... sheesh, there goes the protending to know what i'm talking about out the window
If any one knows how i can join the following two scripts together so that one function will execute one after the other rather than at the same time (cos thats what i'm getting at the moment) it would be fab .. it's probably so basic and easy so i shall go and hide in the corner for a wee while and hope
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
//set message:
msg = "Welcome to eXtreme Forums !!";
timeID = 10;
stcnt = 16;
wmsg = new Array(33);
wmsg[0]=msg;
blnk = " ";
for (i=1; i<32; i++)
{
b = blnk.substring(0,i);
wmsg[i]="";
for (j=0; j<msg.length; j++) wmsg[i]=wmsg[i]+msg.charAt(j)+b;
}
function wiper()
{
if (stcnt > -1) str = wmsg[stcnt]; else str = wmsg[0];
if (stcnt-- < -40) stcnt=31;
status = str;
clearTimeout(timeID);
timeID = setTimeout("wiper()",100);
}
wiper()

and the next code is !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
