Animated Text

This page shows how to add DHTML animation to a page in a way that's compatible with older browsers, and works in both Netscape and Internet Explorer versions 4.x.

This example uses the default scripts generated by Macromedia Dreamweaver, an excellent product but rather too expensive for my means. Netscape Navigator 2.x doesn't understand the new Array command (introduced in JavaScript 1.1), so it displays an error message. Otherwise the page functions fine.

If you're on a 4.0 browser, you'll see animated flying text. If you're on a 3.0 browser, this text will be static.

Notice how the text above aligns with the (nonanimated) text down here, regardless of what browser you're using.
