Scrolling Message in Status Bar

[Rusty Pylate]

Is there a feature in FP2000 that will allow me to create
a scrolling message that is viewed in the status bar when
the viewer hovers over a hyperlink or specific are of the
web page? Can this be done with FP2000 out of the box, or
does it require custom programming or addition add-ins?

Thanks!

It can be done with java script.
Can't remember where I found this but it works:

</script>

<SCRIPT>
<!-- Hide from old browsers

// All you have to do is put another text in the variable message.
// Don't forget to break all lines with a ^
// When you do not place a ^ at the end of all the message, the
// message will not repeat

message = "Tell everybody back home^" +
"Please share this page with your friends and family^" +
"There is no cost to share these pages^" +
"God bless you and keep you and your loved ones safe^" +
"^"
scrollSpeed = 25
lineDelay = 1500

// Do not change the text below //

txt = ""

function scrollText(pos) {
if (message.charAt(pos) != '^') {
txt = txt + message.charAt(pos)
status = txt
pauze = scrollSpeed
}
else {
pauze = lineDelay
txt = ""
if (pos == message.length-1) pos = -1
}
pos++
setTimeout("scrollText('"+pos+"')",pauze)
}

// Unhide -->
scrollText(0)
</SCRIPT>
