Greetings.
I'm in search of a specific applet, and was curious if anyone has one, or knows where to get it.
I'm looking for an applet that highlights text with another color, much like a spotlight effect. For example: I have a font that is blue. I would like "a white light" (or more than one) to slowly move from left to right of the font. I've found a couple of free ones, though these let me only use a couple of different fonts. I would like to find one that will work with any font I choose.
Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance.

Um, Applet = Java ==> Script = JavaScript
so do you want an applet or a script?

you can look at this: A Link (http://www10.brinkster.com/A1ien51/Scripts/SpotLightText.htm)

All you would need to do is specify the font family where the size is at. I am even sure how this script is cross browser since I wrote it a long time ago

Thanks for the reply. What you've linked me to is very much what I'm looking for. I just started building a webpage for the first time on Sunday, so I have a lot of questions. I won't have time to mess with this until probably Friday evening, though I do have a couple things to ask you.
In the box that has the code, do I just cut and paste everything in there into my HTML code? You have some common color choices and other writing in it, so I was curious if that stuff gets put in there as well.

Also, I see where the font size can be adjusted:
TextOut="<p><font size='6'><b>";
If I'm using a font called Codex, you wrote that I just input that into the above line. How exactly would I do that?
