Buttons Effects >>> Headliner.

Appropriately named the Headliner, it presents a number of messages to your visitors in many different formats including a simple scroll, typewriter, expand, and just static text. Each message when clicked can take the visitor to a different URL!

Add the below code to the <body> section of your page:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
/* Visit http://www.yaldex.com/ for full source code

<!-- Begin
typeWriterWait=120 // Typewriter delay
blinkTextWait=1000   // Blinking delay
blinkSpacesWait=300 // Blinking 'blank-spaces' delay
blinkMax=3         // how many times to blink
expandWait=100  // expanding headliner delay
scrollWait=90 // scrolling headliner delay
scrollWidth=34 // characters in scroll display
randomLines=false // randomly choose lines?  (true or false)
lineMax=7 // how many lines you have
lines=new Array(lineMax)

// Use this format for all the lines below:
// (display text, url or mailto, frame name, effect, delay time)

lines[1]=new Line("The JavaScript Headliner!", "http://www.yaldex.com", "", Blink, 500)
lines[2]=new Line("This is a great JavaScript example - appropriately named ' The JavaScript Headliner ' !", "", "", Scroll, 1000)
