Moving Text
      #307158 - Fri Sep 29 2006 07:18 PM

How can I place moving text in the 'status bar' (bottom grey bar in Internet Exp)?

To see what I mean have a look here

Thanks

By viewing the source code of a page you can often (but not always) find how things are done. In this case it's;

Code:
  <script language="JavaScript">
<!--Start Scrolling Statusbar Text
var scrollCounter = 0;
var scrollText = "ENTER YOUR TEXT HERE";
scrollText = "
" + scrollText;
var i = 0;
while (i ++ < 100)
function Scroller()
{
window.status = scrollText.substring(scrollCounter++,
scrollText.length);
if (scrollCounter == scrollText.length)
scrollCounter = 0;
setTimeout("Scroller()", 100);
}
Scroller()
//End -->
</script>

That will only work in Internet Explorer though, not in Firefox.

Your answer was correct. What I was trying to say is that it can't be done in Firefox. I was in a rush and didn't word my post very well.
