you'd wanna do something like this.

in your html pages body area

<div id="showHideHere"
style="position:absolute;"></div>

then in script section
var flag = true;

write a function say its called
magicWand();
in this function
do this

var obj = document.getElementById("showHideHere");

if(flag){
obj.style.visibility="hidden";
flag = false;
}else{
obj.style.visibility="visible";
flag = true;
}

and last thing set timer to call ur method every 3 secs
setInerval("magicWand()",3000);

and thats all

cheers

there you go

<script>
var flag = false;
var ctr = 0;
var messages = new Array(
"Joke first 1",
"Joke second 2",
"Joke third 3",
"Joke fourth 4"
);//add as many messages here
onload = magicWand;
function magicWand(){
var obj = document.getElementById("showHideHere");
ctr = (ctr==messages.length)? 0 : ctr;
//alert(ctr)
obj.innerHTML = "";
obj.innerHTML = messages[ctr];
ctr++;
setTimeout("magicWand()",3000);
}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<div id="showHideHere" style="position:absolute;"></div>
