I am trying to essentially create a ticker which shows a single string item taken from an array at a time. Basically I just want it to show a single item and then transition into the next, my Javascript skills are massively rudimentary (Jquery might be better for this.)
Here is my code:
var title= ['Orange', 'Apple', 'Mango', 'Airplane', 'Kiwi'];
for (var i=0; i<title.length; i++){
document.write(title[i]);
}
What do I have to add?
Thanks a bunch!
Start by learning about document.getElementById and setInterval.
HTML:
<span id="fruit"></span>
Javascript:
var title = ['Orange', 'Apple', 'Mango', 'Airplane', 'Kiwi'];
var i = 0; // the index of the current item to show
setInterval(function() { // setInterval makes it run repeatedly
document
.getElementById('fruit')
.innerHTML = title[i++]; // get the item and increment i to move to the next
if (i == title.length) i = 0; // reset to first element if you've reached the end
}, 1000); // 1000 milliseconds == 1 second
I tried to keep it at its simplest
HTML
<div id="my_id"></div>
Javascript
var counter = 0;
var words = ['jaja', 'jojo', 'lol', 'troll', 'pk!'];
var my_div = document.getElementById('my_id');
function next_word()
{
my_div.innerHTML = words[counter % words.length];
counter += 1;
}
setInterval(next_word, 100);
js
var span = $('span');
var div = 0;
var fading_in = function () {
$(span[div++] || []).fadeIn(500, arguments.callee);
}
setTimeout(fading_in, 400);
html
<div id='example'>
<span>orange </span>
<span>apple </span>
<span>kiwi </span>
<span>banana </span>
<span> melon</span>
</div>
css
span {display:none}
