I'm using the "fly in" DHTML effect for text in FP 2000. My text "flies in" across the page too fast. Is there a way to adjust the speed?

[lola2001]

You can change the speed right in the code.

[cahallyburton]

Where in the code?

[lola2001]

Can you send a snippet of the code that relates to this? It hard to say without seeing it. I'm assuming it's javascript; there should be someplace that indicates speed.

[cahallyburton]

Sure, and thanks for your help:

<p align="right" dynamicanimation="fpAnimflyLeftFP1" id="fpAnimflyLeftFP1" style="position: relative !important; visibility: hidden" language="Javascript1.2"><font color="#FFFF00" face="Harlow Solid Italic" size="7">High&nbsp;
</font></td>

You must have left some of the code out. I'm attaching some code that will do the same thing only make it easier for you. Just follow the directions I have placed in the code indicated by // in front of the comment. Good luck.

[lola2001]

Oops. Here is attachment.

This is the code with my variables in it, but I'm getting a javascript error that I think has to do with an object in the crossheader section. Please take a look and see what I've done wrong. Thanks.

<script>
//set style for NS4 to ''
//change the -400 to pause before bringing in the message - higher for faster, lower for slower
//change "welcome to our website" to your own words.
//change font face to what you like and font color if you want like this: <font color="red">


if (document.layers)
var ns4def=''
</script>

<h1 id="flyin" style="position:relative;left:-100;font-style:italic" style=&{ns4def};><font face="Harlow Solid Italic">High</font></h1>


<script language="JavaScript1.2">

if (document.getElementById||document.all)
var crossheader=document.getElementById? document.getElementById("flyin").style : document.all.flyin.style

//change the +20 to +10 or +5 to make slower

function animatein(){
if (parseInt(crossheader.left)<0)
crossheader.left=parseInt(crossheader.left)+5
else{
crossheader.left=0
crossheader.fontStyle="normal"
clearInterval(start)
}
}

if (document.getElementById||document.all)
start=setInterval("animatein()",50)


</script>

Everything worked fine for me. What kind of error are you getting? I just inserted your code into an existing HTML page (between the body tags) and it worked fine.

[cahallyburton]

Not sure what the problem is now. I took care of the Javascript error, but for some reason Frontpage omits the code between <h2 id="flyin"
and
<font face=....

so that the text isn't animated. This happens even when I enter the codem anually into the html. I can click the Normal or Preview tabs and that line simply disappears from within the code. I'm feeling awfully stupid!

[lola2001]

Don't feel stupid, silly things happen to all of us! I don't know too much about front page but I'm sure it is a glitch with the program. Dreamweaver doesn't do things like that. You could try copying all the code into notepad and upload from there. Take out all references to FrontPage though and don't forget to save it as an .html. Let me know what happens.
