What have you managed or searched for so far?

The basics are setInterval (for timing) and the style.left property for setting the position.

The script looks out-dated. There are better cross-browser scripts.

So what did you want instead?

If you are trying to achive scrolling text through javaScript you can have a look at the free code provided at http://pc.byethost17.com/scripts/javascript/?id=54
Copy the code in your <script> tags in your HTML file and use the fucntion to call it using the function scroller = new Scroller(SCROLLING_TEXT_ID, SLOWER_ID, FASTER_ID, CHANGE_DIRECTION_ID);
