Cool Status Bar Scroller

Check out the status bar at the bottom! This type of scroller only lasts for one time and does not repeat a million other times like the other one. You can change the message where it says "YOUR MESSAGE GOES HERE!!" This example is here for demonstration purposes, not for you to figure out the code.

function snapIn(jumpSpaces, position) {
var msg = "YOUR MESSAGE GOES HERE!!!";
var out = "";

if (killScroll) return false;

for (var i = 0; i < position; i++) out += msg.charAt(i);

for (i = 1; i < jumpSpaces; i++) out += " ";

out += msg.charAt(position);

window.status = out;

if (jumpSpaces <= 1) position++;

        if (msg.charAt(position) == ' ') {
                position++;
                jumpSpaces = 100 - position;
        }
        else if (jumpSpaces > 3) {
                jumpSpaces *= .75;
        }
        else jumpSpaces--;

        if (position != msg.length) {
                var cmd = "snapIn(" + jumpSpaces + "," + position + ")";
                scrollID = setTimeout(cmd, 5);
        }
        else {
                scrolling = false;
                return false;
        }
        return true;
}

function snapSetup() {
        if (scrolling) if (!confirm('Re-initialize snapIn?') return false;
        killScroll = true;
        scrolling = true;
        var killID = setTimeout('killScroll = false', 6);
        scrollID = setTimeout('snapIn(100, 0)', 10);
        return true;
}

var scrollID = Object;
var scrolling = false;
var killScroll = false;

Now put this inside your body code.
