Dear Mr. D,
I have noticed several websites that have a sale's message thatscrolls across their title bar. Another site I visited had asale's message scrolling across the status bar.
These messages really caught my eye. I figure if they are eyecatching then they must be great sales tools.
I want to install something like that on my site, but I can'tfind out how to do it. I have several books on HTML, but none ofthem cover anything that that.
Do you know how it's done. Please keep it simple. I don't havemuch experience in web design.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Signed,
Sandra

Dear Sandra,
The scrolling marquee type messages are are produced byJavaScript codes. That's why you couldn't find them in any ofyour HTML books.
JavaScript codes can produce some great effects on your site.The great part is you don't have to learn to write these codes,you can just go to any of several free JavaScript sites and finda great array of scripts. These scripts are free for you to useand they come with simple installation instructions.
My favorite free Javascript site is at:http://javascript.internet.com - but if you don't find what youwant there, just go to any of the major search engines andconduct a search. You will find several excellent free sites.
I hope this answered your question, if not - just email me.
