Hello, I am new here and found this help forum via the JSS site. I have been searching for a particular code for some time, but have been unable to find what i'm looking for. I'm unfamiliar with JS script in that I can't write it from scratch (if I could, I would'nt be asking for help lol), but I have edited and used it in the past, and I can program HTML.
Onto my problem, I am trying to use JS to simulate text being typed on a web page. Something like you would see on a computer screen ala The Matrix or like an old DOS (ok, really old... :p ) screen. I'm trying to implement it using the Courier font, which simulates old style computer text. The body itself is green text on a black background, very similar to a Matrix screen. In fact, the script is intended for a Matrix roleplaying page.
Now, i've found a script which displays a typing text in the status bar. Apparently this is a commonly used script. But I cannot figure out how to edit it so that it types text in the body of the HTML document rather than the status bar. I've tried simply moving the script past the BODY, instead of before it, as the script was intended. But that simply doesn't show anything at all.
I don't want to post the whole script, as it's long and ungainly (and recommended against in the guidelines). I will though if someone wishes me to. I don't know enough of the actual code to edit the variables and whatnot, so any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
