I pulled it off of some site that already had it implemented just to
start off learning Javascript:

<html>
<head>
<title>Welcome to Ernie's Page at Mentor Graphics on Shokk.</title>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

function scroller(startAt)
{
        var message  = "Welcome to Ernie's home page on
shokk.warren.mentorg.com!"

        var msg = message
        var out = " "
        var c   = 1

        if (100 < startAt) {
                startAt--
                var cmd="scroller(" + startAt + ")"
                scrollerID=window.setTimeout(cmd,40)
        }
        else if (startAt <= 100 && 0 < startAt) {
                for (c=0 ; c < startAt ; c++) {
                        out+=" "
                }
                out+=msg
                startAt--
                var cmd="scroller(" + startAt + ")"
                    window.status=out
                scrollerID=window.setTimeout(cmd,40)
        }
        else if (startAt <= 0) {
                if (-startAt < msg.length) {
                        out+=msg.substring(-startAt,msg.length)
                        startAt--
                        var cmd="scroller(" + startAt + ")"
                        window.status=out
                        scrollerID=window.setTimeout(cmd,40)
                }
                else {
                        window.status=" "
                        scrollerID=window.setTimeout("scroller(100)",40)
                }
        }
}

</SCRIPT>

<frameset cols="25%,75%"
    onLoad="scrollerID=window.setTimeout('scroller(10)',10)">
    <frame src="sidebar.html" name="sidebar">
    <frame src="frontdoor2.html" name="mainwin">
</frameset>
