Flying Title

function flyingtitle(flag) {
     var line1  = " First line of text";
     var line2  = " Second line of text";
     var line3  = " Third line of text";
     var line4  = " Fourth line of text";

     var outtext=line1+line2+line3+line2+line4
     var out = " ";
     var cj  = 1;

     if (flag > 150) {
          flag--;
          var title="flyingtitle(" + flag + ")";
          timerTwo=window.setTimeout(title,150);
     }
     else if (flag <= 150 && flag > 0) {
          for (cj=0 ; cj < flag ; cj++) {
               out+=" ";
          }
          out+=outtext;
          flag--;
          var title="flyingtitle(" + flag + ")";
          window.status=out;
          timerTwo=window.setTimeout(title,150);
     }
     else if (flag <= 0) {
          if (-flag < outtext.length) {
               out+=outtext.substring(-flag,outtext.length);
               flag--;

New Window

     client = "canfocus";

//New Window

function newwin() {
     mapping = window.open("","Chat","width=616,height=410,resizable=yes,scrollbars=no")

Call:<a href="index.html" onClick="newwin()" Target="Window Name"></a>

Message

function message(txt){
     window.status = txt;
     setTimeout("remove_message()",5000);
}

Banner

var id,pause=0,position=0,revol=9;

function banner()

     var msg = s1 + s2 + s3 + s1 + s4 + s5 + s2;
     var speed=5;
     document.thisform.thisbanner.value=msg.substring(position,position+50);
     if(position++==msg.length) {
          if (revol-- < 2) return;
               position=0;
     }
     id=setTimeout("banner()",1000/speed);
}

Call: <body onload="banner()">
<form name="thisform"><input type="text" name="thisbanner" size="40"></form>

Random Graphic

function RandomNumber() 
{
  var today = new Date();
  var num= Math.abs(Math.sin(today.getTime()/1000));
  return num;
}

function RandomGraphics() 
{
  var x = RandomNumber();

  document.write("<a href='./'><img src='");
  if (x > .77)      { document.write("webeach.gif"); }
  else if (x > .66) { document.write("strip.gif"  ); }
