This JavaScript Marquee Generator will create the JavaScript for you to include into your web pages. It is fairly painless. Just fill in all of the boxes for the type of Marquee you want, and hit the Generate button. Not only will the JavaScript be created, but it will also be stuck into that page, so you can see exactly what that would look like. All of the messages scroll on your status bar, so make sure to look there now. In fact, you should see "This is the status bar" there now.

Make sure that you do fill in every field with proper information, so that the times and the delays are numbers. Time is in milliseconds, so 10 is VERY fast, and 2000 is two seconds.

Automatic Typing
Repeat Message		Letters are typed into the status line with the same delay between each character.
Single line message:
Delay between each letter
Time to pause before repeating
(Only if repeating)
Bounce
Repeat Message		Similar to the Display method, but makes the message bounce back and forth on the status bar.
Single line message:
How many "bounces"?
(Only if not repeating)
Delay between movements
Cryptography
Repeat Message		Random letters are put into the status line. They continue to change until they are the right letter for that position in your message, or until the maximum number of loops occur. The correct message is always the result.
Single line message:
How many guesses until the the correct message is shown?
Delay between movements
Delay between repeats
(Only if repeating)
Display
Not repeating		Really simple. You likely want to use another one. If you desperately want something like this, it might be better if you edit your body tag with the onload= part resembling this:
onload="window.status='Your Message'"
Single line message:
Display Multiple
Repeat Message		Rotates through a set of messages by merely setting the status bar to the message (there is no animation of any sort). Time will pass and your second/third/etc. message will show.
Multiple line message:
How long to wait between messages
Implode
Repeat Message		Your message, spread out with spaces between each letter, gradually have the spaces removed, leaving your message complete. The process can optionally repeat.
Single line message:
Delay between movements
Delay before repeating
(Only if repeating)
In-Out
Repeat Message		Scrolls your text in, from the left, pauses a bit and then scrolls it away.
Single line message:
How long to show the message
Delay between movements
How long the message should be hidden
(Only if repeating)
In-Out Multi
Repeat Message		Scrolls your message, a line at a time, just like the In-Out method.
Multiple line message:
How long to show the message
Delay between movements
How long the message should be hidden
(Only if repeating)
Realistic Typing
Repeat Message		It looks somewhat like someone is actually typing the message on the status bar. The delay is actually a random number between 1 and the maximum delay.
Single line message:
Maximum delay for typing
Delay between repeats
(Only if repeating)
Scroll
Repeat Message		Scrolls your text from the far right of your browser window to the far left and off the status bar.
Single line message:
Delay between movements
Delay between repeats
(Only if repeating)
Slam
Repeat Message		Slams the letters, one by one, from the far right of the status bar into a complete message at the left of the bar.
Single line message:
Delay between movements
Pause after each "slammed" letter
Delay between repeats
(Only if repeating)
Louis Houghton, a WWI soldier, introduced the Easter Lily to America in 1919 by bringing a suitcase of bulbs to the southern coast of Oregon. He distributed the bulbs to family and friends. Tyler Akins <>
