If you got it from DD, there should be some sort of instructions about how to edit it. If you post the code you're having troubles with here and/or the page it came from maybe someone will be able to help with it. I'm assuming it's one of those scrolling codes and not the regular title bar one :P

heres the code. i'm not sure where to edit it.





<script language="JavaScript1.2">

/*

*/

if (document.all||document.getElementById){
var thetitle=document.title
document.title=''
}

////Animation code below
////based on script from http://wsabstract.com/script/script2/statusanimate.shtml

var data="0123456789";

var done=1;
function statusIn(text){
decrypt(text,2,1);
}

function statusOut(){
self.status='';
done=1;
}

//-------------------------\\
//decrypt(string, int, int)\\
//-------------------------\\
//
//text(string): the text to be decrypted on
//the status bar.
//
//max(int): the number of times a random string
//is displayed before the next character is
//'decrypted'.
//
//delay(int): the number of milliseconds between
//each display of a random string
//
//Example:
//decrypt('Enter my site.',10,10);
//
//text = 'Enter my site.' :: 'Enter my site.' is
//eventually decrypted
//
//max = 10 :: a different random string is dis-
//played 10 times before a new character is
//decrypted

function decrypt(text, max, delay){
if (done){
done = 0;
decrypt_helper(text, max, delay, 0, max);
}

}

function decrypt_helper(text, runs_left, delay, charvar, max){
if (!done){
runs_left = runs_left - 1;
var status = text.substring(0,charvar);
for(var current_char = charvar; current_char < text.length; current_char++){
status += data.charAt(Math.round(Math.random()*data.length)) ;
}
document.title = status;
var rerun = "decrypt_helper('" + text + "'," + runs_left + "," + delay + "," + charvar + "," + max + ");"
var new_char = charvar + 1;
var next_char = "decrypt_helper('" + text + "'," + max + "," + delay + "," + new_char + "," + max + ");"
if(runs_left > 0){
setTimeout(rerun, delay);
}
else{
if (charvar < text.length){
setTimeout(next_char, Math.round(delay*(charvar+3)/(charvar+1)));
}
else
{
done = 1;
}
}
}
}

//if IE 4+ or NS 6+
if (document.all||document.getElementById)
statusIn(thetitle)
</script>

You only have to edit this bit:
function decrypt(text, max, delay)

It explains what text,max,delay mean just above that in the code.
