Adjusting typewriter scroller script

[mistral]

Below is Typewriter Scroller script. I want adjust is as follows:
remove lower dash "_" out; display text not in form, but inside div,
without any borders (style="visibil ity:hidden"). Also I need control
via css font size, color, family. How to adjust this?

<script language="javas cript" type="text/javascript">

<!-- begin
var max=0;
function textlist()
{
max=textlist.ar guments.length; for (i=0; i<max; i++)
this[i]=textlist.argum ents[i];
}
tl=new textlist
(
"Welcome to my website!"
);
var x=0; pos=0;
var l=tl[0].length;
function textticker()
{
document.tickfo rm.tickfield.va lue=tl[x].substring(0,po s)+"_";
if(pos++==l)
{
pos=0;
setTimeout("tex tticker()",1000 );
x++;
if(x==max)
x=0;
l=tl[x].length;
} else
setTimeout("tex tticker()",50);
}

document.write( "<FORM NAME=\"tickform \">");
document.write( "<INPUT TYPE=\"TEXT\" NAME=\"tickfiel d\" SIZE=
\"30\">");
document.write( "</FORM>");
document.tickfo rm.tickfield.st yle.background = '#FFFFCE';
document.tickfo rm.tickfield.st yle.color = 'red';
textticker();
//-->
</script>

>>plus show text repeatedly (loop)?

When it finishes call the function again.....

Will that empty the div before to fill it again ?

No idea. If it doesn't, you can do that also when you start the function
you simply clear it out first. For a while the one I wrote continuously
looped and when it finished the text it would clear it out and start over.

OK, I agree, javascript is not right choice for advanced tasks that
required powerful visualization, etc. Its only suitable for poor and
primitive tasks, and for newbies. The two aboved samples is just
garbage, however, no one will ever use it for web pages. Also, most
of this javscripts from this javascript-related websites and
depositories is pretty useless for any advanced web development
tasks,just collection of various garbage. Most tasks can be done in
php. Javascript is old and ineffective.

Firstly, no one said that JavaScript was not the right choice, so you are not agreeing
with anyone.

Secondly, your entire statement is moronic. It makes no sense, and surely is based on
your opinion only. Basically, everything you just said is the exact opposite.

Nothing against you of course, you are just wrong.

I await Mr Cornford's reply on this matter, he being in a team that is
developing a 'something' that includes 7,000, or is it 70,000, lines of
javascript :-)

Hardly "not the right choice for advanced..."

70,000. Which, however, is not indicative of how "advanced" it is, only of how involved
it is, or rather its scale.

I would however also imagine that if Cornford is involved it is not something trivial, or
as small-scale as a typewriter script.

Who said anything remotely close to that?

Only in the bowels of *your* mind.

The two aboved samples is just garbage,

Who said that? It wasn't me. I simply pointed out some differences
between the two you posted and the one I posted.

however, no one will ever use it for web pages.

Are you really that big an idiot? Don't answer that, its rhetorical.

Also, most of this javscripts from this javascript-related websites and
depositories is pretty useless for any advanced web development

You finally said something that was true.

Most tasks can be done in php.

Oh? Can you show me an example, in php, of client side form validation?
Didn't think so.

Javascript is old and ineffective.

Then why do you keep posting wanting someone to give you copy/paste
scripts that you then whine about?
