Welcome to Javascript

Scrolling Status Bar:

<script>

  function Scroll(s) {          // s is the string to scroll
    window.status = s ;         // first thing, change the status bar to s
    head = s.slice(0,1);        // this will "slice" off the first character of s
    tail = s.slice(1,s.length); // this will slice off the rest of the characters of s
    s = tail + head;            // this takes the head, and puts it at the end of the tail
    command = "Scroll( '" + s + "' );" ; // this sets up the command ready for setTimeout
    setTimeout(command,50) ;    // This prepares to run "Scroll" again in 0.05 seconds. 
  }

  message1 = "Welcome to the Web Page Design Workshop at SIT. ";
  message2 = "I hope you are all learning a lot! ";
  message3 = "Soon you will all have really snazzy web pages!!!!      ";
  
  message = message1 + message2 + message3 ;

  Scroll(message);

</script>
