My friend and I cowrote the JavaScript for our High-School's Jewish Student Union website.

<head>
   <script language"JavaScript">
   <!--
      //####################################################
      var t=new String("Welcome to VNHS JSU Central! ");   //marquee
      var nc=29;                  //number of chars in marquee
      var ms=new Array(               //messages
         "Come Visit Us",
         "Friday at Lunch",
         "Room 218"
      );
      var nm=3;                  //number of messages
      var mx=1;                  //which message to start with

         s=s.concat(t.substr(0,1));
         t=s;
      }
   //-->

It scrolls the name across the tab in Firefox 0.8...and the other messages show up to the right of it...is that what you're looking for it to do?

Yes. It should scroll "Welcome to VNHS JSU Central!" and the message to the right should switch from "Come Visit Us" to "Fridays at Lunch" to "Room 218". It switches every time it scrolls through, so yes, that's what it should do.

works for me in IE 6SP1 with all patches, too

Works in an older version of Firebird (Gecko/20031210 Firebird/0.7+) also.

Excellent. Thx so far for the replies. Anybody know about Opera? My friend said she didn't see it, but she isn't exactly computer literate, so she may have been looking at a scroll bar for all I know.

well it working is netscape 7.1 [Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 Netscape/7.1 (ax)]

but the window thingy on the page is filled with the word "content"

yeah, it should be. it's under heavy construction

check out the source, if you want.

Doesn't seem to do anything at all in Opera 7.23 :-?

Specifying what version of JS it's targeted to may be of some help.

Apparently, if you don't have <title> and </title> then it doesn't work in Opera.

Here you go:

<html>
<head>
   <title>
   JSU Central
   </title>
   <script language"JavaScript">
   <!--
      //####################################################
      var t=new String("Welcome to VNHS JSU Central! ");   //marquee
      var nc=29;                  //number of chars in marquee
      var ms=new Array(               //messages
         "Come Visit Us",
         "Friday at Lunch",
         "Room 218"
      );
      var nm=3;                  //number of messages
      var mx=1;                  //which message to start with
      //####################################################
      var m=ms[--mx];
      var x=0;
      var timerID=null;
      function loadTitle()
      {
         document.title="["+t+"] "+m;
         x++;
         rotate();
         timerID=setTimeout("loadTitle()",200);
         if (x==nc)
         {
            x=0;
            if(mx==nm-1) mx=-1;
            m=ms[++mx];
         }
      }
      function rotate()
      {
         var s=new String("");
         for(var i=1;i<t.length;i++)
         {
            s=s.concat(t.substr(i,1));
         }
         s=s.concat(t.substr(0,1));
         t=s;
      }
   //-->
   </script>
   <style>
   #main {width:700px;background-color:#FFFFFF;
      border:3px dashed #FFFF00;margin-left:10px;
      padding:5px;}
   </style>
</head>
<body onload="loadTitle();" bgcolor="#001F56" topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" link="FFFFFF">
</body>
</html>

I'd recommend against the marquee, it would seem to distract users from the main content...

Seems to work fine...
