Can u please help me with the Tape ticker script .I have just begun designing my web page with the help of BlueVoda and I have no knowledge of JavaScript or any other language. (I face the same problem with other scripts of the same type but I guess that if u explain it to me once I will be able to do the others on my own!)

At BlueVoda there are some ‘tools’ where u can insert html properties or VBScript or JavaScript. When I select this a box comes out at my page and by double clicking it opens and I insert the script(?).

At your instructions, at first step u say: 1) Download this ZIP file with the ticky-ticky.js script file and unzip into the appropriate directory.
Where is the appropriate directory??? What is it?
At the other steps when u say the head section of the page I think that u mean at the beginning when I go at the page HTML. Is it right?
Lastly I would like to ask u what do u mean when u say that 3) Insert the following HTML code and the script code in the <BODY> section where you want the ticker to appear in the page. Am I supposed to open a box of html properties or VBScript or JavaScript and put it where I want it to appear?

Thank u very much!!I am waiting for your answer (I would also like to tell me were I could find a banner where a text is rotated, sthng like this:

Hello-the day then=> Today you can
Today is 12/2/05 see the N movie..

I mean a box that these messages rotate (I don’t want them to be links)

THANKS AGAIN (U R SAVING MY LIFE!):)

The same directory as the one containing your HTML file.


At the other steps when u say the head section of the page I think that u mean at the beginning when I go at the page HTML. Is it right?

Yes, within the <HEAD> section of your HTML page.
Best positioned right before the </HEAD> tag.


Lastly I would like to ask u what do u mean when u say that 3) Insert the following HTML code and the script code in the <BODY> section where you want the ticker to appear in the page.

Just follow the instruction. Copy the HTML and script code as given and paste it into your page in the <BODY> section at the point where you want the ticker to appear, wherever that is.

You should bear in mind that scripts are very sensitive in their syntax and (unlike HTML code) errors or typos will cause them to not function (even a space or a ; misplaced can be critical, and javaScipt is case sensitive, so FOO is not the same as foo or Foo.). So carry out the given instructions carefully.
