I have been looking at a simple example of a scrolling text box (the one in
the SAM book) as below:
<script language="JavaScript">
var pos=100;
function Scroll() {
if (!document.getElementById) return;
obj=document.getElementById("thetext");
pos -=1;
if (pos < 0-obj.offsetHeight+130) return;
obj.style.top=pos;
window.setTimeout("Scroll();",30);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="Scroll();">
<h1>Scrolling Window Example</h1>
<p>This example shows a scrolling window created in DHTML. The window
is actually a layer that shows a portion of a larger layer.</p>
<div id="thewindow" style="position:relative;width:180;height:150;
overflow:hidden; border-width:2px; border-style:solid; border-color:red">
<div id="thetext" style="position:absolute;width:170;left:5;top:100">
<p>This is the first paragraph of the scrolling message. The message
is created with ordinary HTML.</p>
<p>Entries within the scrolling area can use any HTML tags. They can
contain <a href="http://www.starlingtech.com/dhtml/">Links</a>.</p>
<p>There's no limit on the number of paragraphs that you can include
here. They don't even need to be formatted as paragraphs.</p>
<ul><li>For example, you could format items using a bulleted list.</li></ul>
<p>The scrolling ends when the last part of the scrolling text
is on the screen. You've reached the end.</p>
<p><b>[<a href="javascript
os=100;Scroll();">Start Over</a>]</b></p>
</div>
</div>
</body>
Try as I might, I cannot modify this to make the text loop instead of stop
at the bottom, can somebody please give me the simple answer.
