Slide-in Scroller, how to get messages in random sequence

**scriptseeker** · 12-03-2009, 07:34 PM

Does anyone have a way of making the messages in Slide-in Scroller appear in random order, please?

Thanks!

Code:

<script language="JavaScript1.2">

var inc=1
var ns4=document.layers
var ie5ns6=document.getElementById||document.all

if (ie5ns6)
document.write(openingtag+'<div id="flyin" style="position:relative;width:'+scrollwidth+';height:'+scrollheight+';">'+message[0]+'</div>'+closingtag)


function updatemsg(){
crossobj.style.left="-2000px"
crossobj.style.fontStyle="italic"
crossobj.innerHTML=message[Math.floor(Math.random()*message.length)];
crossobj.style.left=crossobj.offsetWidth*(-1)+hoffset+"px"
start=setInterval("animatein()",50)
inc=(inc<message.length-1)? inc+1 : 0
}

function animatein(){
if (parseInt(crossobj.style.left)<0)
crossobj.style.left=parseInt(crossobj.style.left)+20+"px"
else{
crossobj.style.left=0+"px"
crossobj.style.fontStyle="normal"
clearInterval(start)
}
}

function updatemsgns4(){
document.sslide.document.sslide2.document.write(openingtag+message[inc]+closingtag)
document.sslide.document.sslide2.document.close()
inc=(inc<message.length-1)? inc+1 : 0
}

function initialize(){
if (ie5ns6){
crossobj=document.getElementById? document.getElementById("flyin") : document.all.flyin
setInterval("updatemsg()",delay+1000)
}
else if (ns4){
document.sslide.document.sslide2.document.write(openingtag+message[0]+closingtag)
document.sslide.document.sslide2.document.close()
setInterval("updatemsgns4()",delay)
}
}

window.onload=initialize

</script>

Vic,

Thanks so much!

Really appreciate it; I didn't think it could be so simple.

... and if I wanted to make the sequence always start with a different quote?

crossobj.innerHTML=message[Math.floor(Math.random()*message.length)];

**Cubikated** · 06-14-2010, 10:29 PM

Hi guys,

I want to get the scroller to start from the right side but not all the way to the left. I want the same effect as the original settings/example but to scroll from the right.

Is this possible?

Thanks.

//  parameter 2 =  period of time between the start and finish of the effect in milliseconds. (digits or defaults to previous or 0(on first call) milliSeconds)

Hey Vic,

Thanks for the code, just what I wanted (the one that appears from right).

Now here's the problem/hard part. I'm not an expert and quite new to web design. I only want the right scroller in header. Which part of the code should I use?

Thanks.

**vwphillips** · 06-15-2010, 11:29 AM

I only want the right scroller in header.

please explain

**Cubikated** · 06-15-2010, 12:45 PM

I want to position the scroller that starts from the right side inside my header div. Also how do I change/Set the stop point? Maybe like 100px from the right (inside the header).
