Text Animation



User: Guest 12 years ago
Is there are way I can add text animation? I would like to have phrases/quotes fade in and out on my home page? <!-- s:mrgreen: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":mrgreen:" title="Mr. Green" /><!-- s:mrgreen: -->

Thanks! I've found this code...the description seems to be what I want but there was no preview. Can you help me get it to work please?
If it's a big ask I can look for something else? There's a lot of code and I don't have a clue with this stuff :O(

The text I want to animate is:

"Fat does not make you fat!"
"A calorie is not a calorie!"

I just want one quote to fade in and out, then the other one to fade over the top and this process to repeat.

Can this be done?

Thanks,
John

What is the URL to the DynamicDrive page that the script is on?

The script appears to be broken. That's probably why there is no demo.

You could try emailing their support.

Oh well...thanks for looking. Is there an easier way to get the effect I want?

I've never used text animation on a site. Here's a test page done for an iWeb user who wanted shock wave text. I think this is a DynamicDrive script...
