Auto or Self-Scrolling HTML or Javascript Code for Vertical Text.

Java Script for
Auto-Scrolling or
Self-Scrolling Vertical Text
on a Fixed Background.

We made a sample page so you can get an idea of what we are talking about.
Click our animated link below. It's not really a good example because it's
more jerky than the Javascript code, but we tried. ;)

Here is the code. Put it between the
<head> and </head> of your html page
or "fixed" html page. Whatever you wish.

Speed can be customized.
I highlighted in red "var speed=1"
If you want a zoomier scroll, then type in a larger number.

<SCRIPT language=JavaScript1.2>

//change 1 to another integer to alter the scroll speed. Greater is faster

var speed=1

var currentpos=0,alt=1,curpos1=0,curpos2=-1

function initialize(){

startit()

}

function scrollwindow(){

if (document.all &&

!document.getElementById)

temp=document.body.scrollTop

else

temp=window.pageYOffset

if (alt==0)

alt=2

else

alt=1

if (alt==0)

curpos1=temp

else

curpos2=temp

if (curpos1!=curpos2){

if (document.all)

currentpos=document.body.scrollTop+speed

else

currentpos=window.pageYOffset+speed

window.scroll(0,currentpos)

}

else{

currentpos=0

window.scroll(0,currentpos)

}

function startit(){

setInterval("scrollwindow()",50)

}

window.onload=initialize

</SCRIPT>
