Go here and look at the window on that first page. How do the words get cycled through the window? http://www.cadcol.com

On inspection of the page, its a java applet. It also seems that its available so you can download it and take a look at the source at

Thanks! I knew someone could shove me in the right direction. Now, if I can just learn how and where to "put" the scripts I'm reading, and get them to work. I'm awfully new to this....

I've looked at the script, and some of it is obvious - text size, style, colors...but which parameter manages the speed of the text as it crosses the box? There is a lot of terminology in there that doesn't make any sense to me yet. Sorry.

the "delay" parameter adjusts the speed of the scolling by adding this amount of time in milliseconds before each time it refreshes the java applet. So basically, increase the value to slow the text down.

Gottcha! Thanks. I've still not figured it all out. But I keep trying. I'm finally reading a manual on HTML, which should help a bit. Thanks again.
