Yes, I was right. I went to The Omega's Javascript Help Forum at http://transload.starblvd.net/cgi-bin/forum?name=the_omega and consulted with him. He came up with the following: Please excuse me for posting HTML here, but your animation is so short that I thought it wouldn't be so bad. I hope your newsreader translates it as text and not HTML. ---------copy below this line------------ <html> <body onload="tick()"> <script language="JavaScript"> var max=0; function tlist(){ max=tlist.arguments.length; for(i=0;i<max;i++) this[i]=tlist.arguments[i]; } tl = new tlist( " \\/6.6\\/--` ////\\\\\\ \r\n"+ " ( _ ) \\-@.@-/\r\n"+ " ,'---', ( _ ) _____\r\n"+ " / \\ ,'---', /// \\\\\\\r\n"+ " /_/ \\_\\ / \\ \\/Q,Q\\/\r", " \\/-.-\\/--` ////\\\\\\ \r\n"+ " ( _ ) \\-@.@-/\r\n"+ " ,'---', ( 0 ) _____\r\n"+ " / \\ ,'---', /// \\\\\\\r\n"+ " /_/ \\_\\ / \\ \\/0>0\\/\r" ); var x=0; function tick() { document.f.t.value=" \r\n"+ " _____\r\n"+ " /_____\\__ _____\r\n"+ tl[x]+ " \\ | | / /_/ \\_\\ ( _ )\r\n"+ " \\|_____|/ \\| |/ ,'-',\r\n"+ " | | | (|_____|) /_/ \\_\\\r\n"+ " | | | |__|__| \\|___|/\r\n"+ " \\__|__/ | | | | | |\r\n"+ " _|_|_|_ _|_|_|_ _|_|_|_\r\n"+ " (___|___) (___|___) (___|___)\r"; x++; if(x==max) x=0; //if(confirm('continue?')) setTimeout("tick()",150); } //--></script> <FORM NAME=f><TEXTAREA NAME=t ROWS=16 COLS=40> </TEXTAREA></FORM> <p>Thanks to <a href="http://transload.starblvd.net/cgi-bin/forum?name=the_omega">The Omega</a> for the Javascript help.</p> </body> </html> ---------end copy------------ Copy this and save it as youranimation.html I hope that you have Netscape Navigator 3.01, Opera 3.2b2, Microsoft Explorer 4.0 (or higher) that have the Javascript enabled so that you can view your animation. Because of this newfound knowledge, I have now added a second part to my template. It can be found at http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Studios/9334/animlesson2.htm#top NOTE: I do not pick up my mail from the idirect address that you see. If you are e-mailing me and hit the reply button, add an "e" to "freent"; its absense is to stop the torment of automatic mailers. -- ___ cq547@freene+.+oron+o.on.ca _/ | ,^%--- llizard aka ejm |_____| __<_ \ Did that help? --- == >/ [_____] __>,^ ASCII-ar+, ASCII & gif anima+ions ejm| | //| | www.geocities.com/SoHo/Studios/9334/
