Javascript and Button Captions for One Line Animations

Hey there... looks like alt.ascii-art.animation is pretty defunct, so I just wanted to mention this here...got the idea to start playing with button captions in web browser for one dimensional ascii art animations. (Got the idea from some basic animations that used the browser title and status bars). The results are at http://kisrael.com/viewblog.cgi?date=2002.05.22 , though I've been told the results are sketchy in various Mac browsers (probably the rules about whitespace and button captions) Interestingly, each frame of each animation uses almost the exact same characters, just in a different order, so that the width of the button is constant in IE (I guess the fish is one counterexample) Anyways, I'm sure I'm not the first person to have come up with this idea, but I was pleased with the results. -- QUOTEBLOG: http://kisrael.com SKEPTIC MORTALITY: http://kisrael.com/mortal "God or somebody save us from any society founded on Darwinian principles." --Richard Dawkins
