Type Writer Status Bar
Notice the status bar? All you need now are the the typing sounds! TIP: Put some spaces after you message to have it stay in the status bar longer. You can also play around with the numbers at the top to increase/decrease the speed!



Insert into <HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> <!-- Hide from old browsers var speed = 50 // decrease value to increase speed (must be positive) var pause = 2000 // increase value to increase pause var timerID = null var bannerRunning = false var ar = new Array() ar[0] = "MESSAGE #1" ar[1] = "MESSAGE #2" ar[2] = "MESSAGE #3" ar[3] = "MESSAGE #4" var currentMessage = 0 var offset = 0 function stopBanner() { if (bannerRunning) clearTimeout(timerID) bannerRunning = false } function startBanner() { stopBanner() showBanner() } function showBanner() { var text = ar[currentMessage] if (offset < text.length) { if (text.charAt(offset) == " ") offset++ var partialMessage = text.substring(0, offset + 1) window.status = partialMessage offset++ timerID = setTimeout("showBanner()", speed) bannerRunning = true } else { offset = 0 currentMessage++ if (currentMessage == ar.length) currentMessage = 0 timerID = setTimeout("showBanner()", pause) bannerRunning = true } } // --> </SCRIPT>

<body onLoad="startBanner()">
