Text Trial Script

Code for Text Trail script [updated 03/30/2004]

Part of this code is meant to go between the [head] tags but the eteamz webmaster does not have access to this area. However this script will work nevertheless (yippee!).

To change the message, simply configure variable "message". As a general tip, the shorter the message, the more efficient the script runs. The text style can also be altered (change the declarations within the [style] tag.

Here's the code as one single script!

Highlight, Copy, & Paste this script on the page you want it:
