I already have it in a 1 line tex box, but I'd like the quote to show in a larger textbox with more lines (the sort of textbox i want is this box I'm writing in to post this message)
The address to what I currently have is here - could somebody please tell me what part of the script i need to change:

I didn't modify yours, I just made my own. I hope you don't mind but I didn't feel like sifting through a lot of code just to find the quote bit.

Thanks! Thats a lot simpler than what I had. You see I havent got a clue about javascript, it was a cut and paste job.
Are u sure it's ok that i use your script on my site?

Yeah, you've helped me alright! You've saved me hours of searching through scripts. Just thinking about it, how did u learn javascript, just on the internet or did u take a course? If u did it on the net, do u know of any good tutorials for newbies?

Well I learnt a few scraps at school in my own free time, nothing to brag about though. Then I discovered http://www.javascriptsource.com/ and I learnt a few more scraps. Then I noticed a link at the bottom of the page to here, from then on when I had a question I asked and I also spent some money on a js book, (SAMS Teach Yourself JavaScript in 21 Days).
Now I know all that I need to know, and when someone comes in with something I haven't done before I create a script for them and in the process I learn about that particular area of JavaScript.
