How to make animate header name?

[Avi]

Ey when people access my HFS, it's written HFS (the version i'm using)-Mozilla Firefox.


I wanted to know how to make it moving.. I successfully changed the header name to my name. Now I want to know if there is a way to animate it. I mean make it moving.


Thxs for ur replies

i guess it is possible to do it with javascript.
you should google about it, because this has little to do with HFS itself, and you may find it ready around.

I don't know javascript 


Can someone help me please? 


I tried to create an animated one but ended in destroying my template completely. Thanx God I did a backup before

Hey Rejetto I got some javascript codes. I'm using the live template. Can you tell me where to paste the code in the template. Please do tell me. Thanxs a lot

[rejetto]

i can't, i have to work on HFS. i hope someone else will help you.
if you don't find help here, consider finding in any html related forum on the internet, since your problem is not bound to HFS.

What do you mean by an animated header? Do you mean a flash animation, an animated gif, a marquee... Your not very specific about the type of animated header you are after.

In html 4.01? i think its valid to use <marquee></marquee> but to be honest that looks really tacky.

I think he is talking about <title>
That's why i told him javascript

Hmm, I have seen that done, and it was javascript... I still think it looks tacky, i'm not a fan of marquee text on websites. When it does look good is when its representing a load sequence or something.

I agree.  Animation without purpose is typically a sign of bad design.

Avi, I haven't tested this script but it seems to be what you're looking for.

Use this. It works for me 

Code: [Select]

<SCRIPT language=javascript>
msg = "(your message here)";

msg = "..." + msg;pos = 0;
function scrollMSG() {
document.title = msg.substring(pos, msg.length) + msg.substring(0, pos);
pos++;
if (pos >  msg.length) pos = 0
window.setTimeout("scrollMSG()",200);
}
scrollMSG();
    </SCRIPT>
