special effects (aplets? plugins?)

P

Perry

Can someone point me to where I can be walked through a specific step by
step example of how I might add a special effect on a site?

Something really simple................like a box with moving (streaming?)
text within it?

Seems like the tutorials would walk you through this from the beginning but
I sure don't see this............I don't even know the difference between an
aplet and a plug in.........

thanks

Perry

Hi Perry,

There's a number of different ways to do this. Java or Java Applets is one
way. (Not recommended though as many people do not have Java
installed/enabled on their machines) Another method is through using
JavaScript..although the name is similar to Java..they are two totally
different things. There's lots of JavaScripts available that you can copy
and paste into a page. Here's two scripts to look at that you might want to
try..one horizontal..the other vertical:

Thanks Joe. I'm learning slowly.

Are you saying that I should be able to copy/paste the html code directly on
to a blank page in the code tab with no other code there first? When I do
that then view I get a script error. Any idea what i'm doing wrong?

Hi Perry,

Try first copying and pasting the code into Notepad and then from Notepad
into your page in FrontPage while in HTML/Code view. See if that works for
you.
