text scroll with no background

[Yathar]

I found a great applet, the text scrols in a box, I can adjust it the way a like, but how can I get rid of the background color, so I acould still see my homepage. I don´t want a green, white ore whatever box.
If you have any idea or know another applet please let me know, thanks , Yathar

Is this a Java Applet you are talking about? If so, this might not be the correct Thread/Post for this question.

If it is JavaScript. Could you be more specific and post and example link, segment of code or anything to give us an idea of what you are looking at?

You see, I am just staring with the whole thing. Its the first time I am using Java Script ore applet. I guess the one I talk about is an applet. (What is the difference?) This is the code
<APPLET CODE="TextScroll.class"
WIDTH=100
HEIGHT=200>
<PARAM NAME="data" VALUE="hello.txt">
</APPLET>

In my textfile I can give directions like the following
^^setSpeed(93)
^^setBackgroundColor(255,30,30)
^^setForegroundColor(255,255,255)

If this is not the right place I excuse myself for putting up the question. It is the first time I am using this Forum.

But is there a Java Script that would do the same thing, Just scroll my Text in a invisable box over my page?
thanks for you help

Yeah, This is a Java Applet. Different from JavaScript.

I'm not familiar Java so I wouldn't be able to help you there. As for a JavaScript alternative, you should check out:
