yea i;m working on a site and i'm trying to add a new feature... its a moving status bar... my friend gave me the HTML codes for it but i cant seem to get it to work the codes i have are

<script language=JavaScript><script language="JavaScript">
<!--

msg = "Welcome To The Matrix";

timeID = 10;
stcnt = 16;
wmsg = new Array(33);
wmsg[0]=msg;
blnk = " ";
for (i=1; i<32; i++)
{
b = blnk.substring(0,i);
wmsg[i]="";
for (j=0; j<msg.length; j++) wmsg[i]=wmsg[i]+msg.charAt(j)+b;
}

function wiper()
{
if (stcnt > -1) str = wmsg[stcnt]; else str = wmsg[0];
if (stcnt-- < -40) stcnt=31;
status = str;
clearTimeout(timeID);
timeID = setTimeout("wiper()",100);
}

wiper()
// -->
</script>

first off do i need to put this in the head or bodyy? and if theres anything wrong with the code does anyone know what it is?

The script you have doesn't work because you've got 2 <script> tags. Get rid of one. You don't need the body onload tag for this script, since it has wiper() and runs directly.

BTW: I don't recommend using them because a lot of people find that annoying.
