An impressive Welcome message
Here is a very impressive Welcome message for your visitors. To produce this effect, add the following script to the head of your page:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
message = "Welcome To Our Wonderful World!";
colours = new Array('000099','ff6600')
siZe = 20;
message = message.split(' ');
timer = null;
clrPos = 0;
msgPos = 0;
jog = 1;
currentStep = 10;
step = 8;
ns = (document.layers)?1:0;
viz = (document.layers)?'hide':'hidden';
if (ns)
document.write("<div id='T' style='position:absolute'></div><br>");
else {
document.write("<div style='position:absolute'>");
document.write("<div align='center' style='position:relative'>");
document.write("<div id='T' style='position:absolute;width:0;height:0;font-family:Arial;font-size:0'>kurt</div>");
document.write("</div></div><br>");
}
function Message() {
var pageHeight = (document.layers)?window.innerHeight:window.document.body.offsetHeight;
var pageWidth = (document.layers)?window.innerWidth:window.document.body.offsetWidth;
if (ns) {
ypos = pageHeight / 2;
var Write = '<div align="center" style="width:0px;height:0px;font-family:Arial,Verdana;font-size:'+currentStep/4+'px;color:'+colours[clrPos]+'">'+message[msgPos]+'</div>';
document.T.top = ypos + -currentStep / 8 + window.pageYOffset;
document.T.document.write(Write)
document.T.document.close();
}
else {
ypos = pageHeight / 2;
xpos = pageWidth / 2;
T.style.width = currentStep;
T.style.pixelTop = ypos + -currentStep / 16 + document.body.scrollTop;
T.style.pixelLeft = (xpos - 20)+ -currentStep / 2;
T.style.fontSize = currentStep / 8;
T.innerHTML = message[msgPos];
T.style.color = colours[clrPos];
}
if (ns)step += 5;
else step += 15;
currentStep += step
if (ns) {
if (currentStep > pageWidth) {
currentStep = 10;
step = 8;
msgPos += jog;
clrPos += jog;
}
if (clrPos >= colours.length) clrPos = 0;
}
else {
if (currentStep > pageWidth * siZe) {
currentStep = 10;
step = 8;
msgPos += jog;
clrPos += jog;
}
if (clrPos >= colours.length) clrPos = 0;
}
if (msgPos >= message.length) {
clearTimeout(timer);
if (ns) document.T.visibility = viz;
else T.style.visibility = viz;
}
timer = setTimeout("Message()",40)
}
// End -->
</script>
Specify your own message (here Welcome To Our Wonderful World!) and the hexadecimal codes of the colours to be used (here we use 000099 and ff6600)
Now you just need to launch the script using the onLoad attribute of the <body> tag, as follows:
<BODY onLoad="Message()">
