Below is Typewriter Scroller script. I want adjust is as follows:
remove lower dash "_" out; display text not in form, but inside div,
without any borders (style="visibility:hidden"). Also I need control
via css font size, color, family. How to adjust this?

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

<!-- begin
var max=0;
function textlist()
{
max=textlist.arguments.length; for (i=0; i<max; i++)
this[i]=textlist.arguments[i];
}
tl=new textlist
(
"Welcome to my website!"
);
var x=0; pos=0;
var l=tl[0].length;
function textticker()
{
document.tickform.tickfield.value=tl[x].substring(0,pos)+"_";
if(pos++==l)
{
pos=0;
setTimeout("textticker()",1000);
x++;
if(x==max)
x=0;
l=tl[x].length;
} else
setTimeout("textticker()",50);
}

document.write("<FORM NAME=\"tickform\">");
document.write("<INPUT TYPE=\"TEXT\" NAME=\"tickfield\" SIZE=
\"30\">");
document.write("</FORM>");
document.tickform.tickfield.style.background = '#FFFFCE';
document.tickform.tickfield.style.color = 'red';
textticker();
//-->
</script>

No, I meant this: <URL: http://www.dhtmldev.com/examples/js/typewriter_effect/>

<h1>Typewriter Effect Example</h1>

<p>View source to see the JavaScript.</p>

<script type="text/javascript">

function Typewriter(sName)
{ // PROPERTIES
this.counter = 0;
this.name = sName;
this.text = "";
this.speed = 50; // in milliseconds

// METHODS
this.addText = AddText;
this.next = Next;
this.setSpeed = SetSpeed;
this.write = Write;

// FUNCTIONS
function AddText(s)
{ this.text = s
}
function Next()
{ document.getElementById('typewriter_output').inner HTML =
this.text.substr(0, this.counter++);
}
function SetSpeed(iSpeed)
{ this.speed = iSpeed;
}
function Write()
{ setInterval(this.name+".next()",this.speed);
}
}

</script>

<div id="typewriter_output" style="width:400px;border:1px black
solid;padding:1em;background:#f3f3f3;"></div>

<script type="text/javascript">
var myTypewriter = new Typewriter("myTypewriter");
myTypewriter.addText("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer

Phasellus sit amet lorem. Sed at lacus id augue rhoncus euismod.

myTypewriter.write();
</script>



</body>

Does someone know how to omit border & background color from div
container (style="visibility:hidden" ?), set font size/color/family,
plus show text repeatedly (loop)?

Regards.

everything is here :

<div id="typewriter_output" style="width:400px;border:1px black
solid;padding:1em;background:#f3f3f3;"></div>

you only have to modify the style of 'typewriter_output'

Will that empty the div before to fill it again ?

OK, I agree, javascript is not right choice for advanced tasks that
required powerful visualization, etc. Its only suitable for poor and
primitive tasks, and for newbies. The two aboved samples is just
garbage, however, no one will ever use it for web pages. Also, most
of this javscripts from this javascript-related websites and
depositories is pretty useless for any advanced web development
tasks,just collection of various garbage. Most tasks can be done in
php. Javascript is old and ineffective.

Firstly, no one said that JavaScript was not the right choice, so you are not agreeing
with anyone.

Secondly, your entire statement is moronic. It makes no sense, and surely is based on
your opinion only. Basically, everything you just said is the exact opposite.

Nothing against you of course, you are just wrong.

I await Mr Cornford's reply on this matter, he being in a team that is
developing a 'something' that includes 7,000, or is it 70,000, lines of
javascript

Hardly "not the right choice for advanced..."

70,000. Which, however, is not indicative of how "advanced" it is, only of how involved
it is, or rather its scale.

I would however also imagine that if Cornford is involved it is not something trivial, or
as small-scale as a typewriter script.
