Thanks senocular,
I'm javascript illerate, but that effect is pretty kool. I can't say i recall ever seening it.

Yep, just view the source of the page or save it to your computer and you can extract the code yourself...or just make it in Flash, it much easier :p

i agree flash would be much much easier, but the whole thing about search engines not being able to read is starting to get to me.

[mmm..pi..3.14..]

What do you mean search engines not being able to read??

[Flash Gordon]

search engines can't read flash, they can't index the text inside of it. When i am trying to "sell myself" to the mass public, it makes it more difficult if my biography and stuff can't be indexed or read my google so that it can be included in searches.

Opps i left out the word flash in my earlier post. Duh... :rolleyes:

search engines can read flash.

And the JS scrolling has been done a lot, and has been done for years. People dont like to rely on js too much though, especially if not having it enabled or working properly means not being able to access information.

[mmm..pi..3.14..]

I only use JS if I absolutely have too, browsers differ very differently on how they use JS. For instance, I have a site made entirely with flash, and it has a "browse for file" button in it which works by calling javascript functions. The button works in IE, but not in Firefox...I still can't figure it out...it's weird :confused:

search engines can read flash.
But i don't think any search engines have impliments this yet, have they?

Does it matter if the text is dynamaic or static?
That's weird becuase hasn't indexed the content on my flash pages, but it has my hmtl pages.
News to me. Thanks for the help.
