I found this javascript on the site for rotating a set of quotes, and have modified it, as I want it to change the quotes without having to re-load the page. However, I don't know how to get it to show the text outside a text box which is what it currently does. I'd like the quote to appear in on a page in a column, so would like the text to be able to wrap.
Any ideas would be most appreciated Thanks Here's the text: //************************** <html> <head> <title>Quotes</title> <TITLE>Change Quote</TITLE> </head> <body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" onLoad="writemsg()"> <P>before quote</P> <form method="get" name="form1"> <input type="text" size="50" name="tester" value="hi there"> </form> <div name=div1> <p name="after"> after quote </P> </div> <SCRIPT language="javascript"><!-- var howMany = 41 var quote = new Array(howMany+1) quote[0]="Force, and fraud, are in war the two cardinal virtues." quote[1]="War is the great scavenger of thought." quote[2]="War is the supreme drama of a completely mechanized society." quote[3]="The quickest way of ending a war is to lose it." quote[4]="Anyone who has ever looked into the glazed eyes of a soldier dying on the battlefield will think hard before starting a war." quote[5]="There is nothing so subject to the inconstancy of fortune as war." quote[6]="War is regarded as nothing but the continuation of politics by other means." quote[7]="It takes twenty years or more of peace to make a man; it takes only twenty seconds of war to destroy him." quote[8]="I'm trying to die correctly, but it's very difficult, you know." quote[9]="All men think all men mortal, but themselves." quote[10]="Life yields only to the conqueror.

you could use layers and visibility.
have a hidden layer and a visible layer and just rotate between them all. the script won't work when it gets to the end ... i'm kinda tired and don't feel like looking at anymore javascript today. but that should get you started. //javascript quotes = new Array(); quotes[0] = "one"; quotes[1] = "two"; var x = 0; function rotate(){ if(document.all){ document.all(quotes[x]).style.visibility = 'visible'; document.all(quotes[x-1]).style.visibility = 'hidden'; } x++; if(x > quotes.length){ x = 0; } } //html <div id="one" style="position:absolute; visibility:hidden"> hello </div> <div id="two" style="position:absolute; visibility:hidden"> world </div> ------------------ Jaisen Mathai JMathai.com jaisen@jmathai.com [This message has been edited by jmathai (edited February 04, 2000).] [This message has been edited by jmathai (edited February 04, 2000).]

Just thought I'd update this very old thread with a link to a very old javascript example that answers the question in a different way:
www (dot) inquiry (dot) com (slash) techtips (slash) js_pro (slash) 10min (slash) 10min1299 (slash) 10min1299 (dot) asp (sorry about the link...I don't have my 5 posts or whatever but want to link this knowledge to this thread since the thread came up through my search on the topic)
