Double Status Bar Message

T his is a new and unique way to have a message(s) in your status bar. Look below and see how this one is different!. This one has a stationary message on the left side while more messages scroll from the right to the left.

We have tested the code in IE6.0, Firefox1.5.0.3, Opera8.54, Netscape8.1 and AOL Explorer1.2. This script worked well in all platforms with the exception of Firefox1.5.0.3 where it "Did Not" work and one variation in Netscape8.1.

1)     On mouseover of any links, the message will vanish and the URL of the link path will be shown.
2)     As opposed to no change in message movement within the other platforms tested.
3)     This does not hinder the operation of the script in any way.
4)     It degrades well and you will not get any error messages.

D epending on your knowledge of HTML and java scripts, this is an easy, two part copy and paste code.

1.     Copy the coding into the <HEAD> section of your HTML document
2.     Add the onLoad event handler directly into the <BODY> tag.

Reconfigurations Within The <Head> Section

  var m1 = "     offering Free Scripts        ";
  var m2 = "    Add another message here!    ";
  var m3 = "    Visit Us Now!        ";
  var m4 = "    You may add as many messages as you like!        ";
  var m5 = "    LOOOK........   Great!!        ";
  var msg=m1+m2+m3+m2+m4+m2+m5;
  var out = "Javascript Source        ";

A s you can see in the above where to add your "Messages" to scroll and the one stationary. The stationary message is at the bottom with the code of
  var out = "Javascript Source        ";
This is going to be your stationary message all the way to the left side of the status bar.

Y ou will also notice within the above section of code, the " quotation spacing in front of and behind the messages. You can experiment with different spacings to get the effect you want on your pages.

T o add more than the default number of messages, just follow the number sequence as above and be sure to add the number sequence in the

  var msg=m1+m2+m3+m2+m4+m2+m5;

to reflect that number message or it will not appear in the status bar!

B elow is the sequence the scrolling messages are displayed. You can vary the numerical sequence if you so choose as long as the highest number does not exceed the highest number of scrolling messages.

  var msg=m1+m2+m3+m2+m4+m2+m5;

T he other part of the code gets pasted directly into the <BODY> tag of your document. If you do not know how to insert this into the body tag, see the below example.

</head>
<BODY onLoad="timerONE=window.setTimeout('scrollit_r2l(100)',500);" BGCOLOR="#000000" text="#ba55dc" vlink="#ffa500" link="#ffa500" alink="#ffff00" >
<basefont size="3">
