Hi Bev,
copy and paste this onto a page
<html><head>
<style type="text/css">
#searchTable{
font: bold 12px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif !important;
font-variant:small-caps;
color: #f93 !important;
width:150px !important;
border:none !important;}
#searchTable td{border-bottom:0px none white;}
..bordered{
width: 20px !important;
border: 1px solid #f93 !important;;
}
</style>
</head><body>
<table width=150 cellspacing=3 cellpadding=0 border=0 id="searchTable">
<tr><td>searching</td><td id="cell1" class="bordered"> </td><td
id="cell2" class="bordered"> </td>
<td id="cell3" class="bordered"> </td><td id="cell4"
class="bordered"> </td><td id="cell5" class="bordered"> </td></tr>
</table>
<script type="text/javascript">
function searchTable(){
if(!document.getElementById)return;
if(counter>5){counter=1;
for(i=1;i<6;i++)document.getElementById('cell'+i).style.backgroundColor='#ff
f';}
document.getElementById('cell'+counter).style.backgroundColor='#f93';counter
++;}
var counter = 1;window.setInterval('searchTable()', 500);
</script>
If you want to see it in action go to
www.bookhead.co.uk and search for an
obscure book, you'll see the little searching thingy while it's searching.
Normally it would be much easier to use an animated gif though - there's a
good technical reason why I couldn't on this site which really isn't worth
going into.
