Fade in effect

[ndyrek]

I have simple css rollover navigational text on a page and would like them to fade into the page after everything is loaded. Is there any javascript code that could give me this effect?

This might work:

<script language="JavaScript1.2">

/*

*/

var delay=3000 //set delay between message change (in miliseconds)
var fcontent=new Array()
begintag='<font face="Arial" size=2>' //set opening tag, such as font declarations
fcontent[0]="<b>What\'s new?</b><br>New scripts added to the Scroller category!<br><br>The MoreZone has been updated. <a href='../morezone/index.htm'>Click here to visit</a>"
fcontent[1]="Dynamic Drive has been featured on Jars as a top 5% resource, and About.com as a recommended DHTML destination."
fcontent[2]="Ok, enough with these pointless messages. You get the idea behind this script.</a>"
closetag='</font>'

var fwidth='150px' //set scroller width
var fheight='150px' //set scroller height

var fadescheme=0 //set 0 to fade text color from (white to black), 1 for (black to white)
var fadelinks=1 //should links inside scroller content also fade like text? 0 for no, 1 for yes.

///No need to edit below this line/////////////////

var ie4=document.all&&!document.getElementById

Thank you.... the fade in scroller did work. Now I'm trying to figure out how to end the scroll. So my code doesn't fade out too:)
