Flying text sinks to the bottom, does not rise to the top?

aler45dcom

I write a flying text script,but it sinks at the bottom and it stays
there forever.

How to change it so that it flies in the webpage?

<html>
<head>
<title>Flying text</title>
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
</head>
<body onload="initTex t()" >
<p>
<span id="theText" style="position : absolute; left: 100px; top:
100px; font: bold 20pt 'Times Roman'; color: blue;">
Hello!
</span>
</p>
</body>
</html>

You need to store the current x and y direction, increment the co-ordinates
accordingly and change directions when defined limits are reached.

<html>
<head>
<title>Flying text</title>
<script type="text/javascript">

var dom, finalY=screen.a vailHeight||scr een.height,
finalX=screen.a vailWidth||scre en.width, xDir=1, yDir=1;
finalY=Math.rou nd(finalY*0.7);

function initText()
{
if( document.getEle mentById &&
(dom=document.g etElementById(" theText").style ) )
{
var x=dom.left;
var y=dom.top;
x=x.match(/\d/);
y=y.match(/\d/);
moveText(x,y);
}
}

function moveText(x,y)
{

if( (xDir==1 && x>=finalX) || xDir==-1 && x<=0)
xDir=-xDir;

x+=xDir;

if( (yDir==1 && y>=finalY) || yDir==-1 && y<=0)
yDir=-yDir;

y+=yDir;

dom.left=x+"px" ;
dom.top=y+"px";

setTimeout("mov eText(" + x + "," + y + ")", 50);
}

</script>
</head>

<body onload="initTex t()" >

<div id="theText" style="position : absolute; left: 100px; top:
100px; font: bold 20pt 'Times Roman'; color: blue;">Hello!</div>

</body>
