pacome Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Hi... I'd like to dinamically trim strings from a page... Lets say I have a string such as: "My web Page" and I want every 5 seconds show one character less of that string... My Web Page 5 seconds after "y Web Page" 5 seconds after " Web Page" 5 seconds after " eb Page" and so on untill the text is finished completely... I'm thinking of using PeriodicalUpdater for it, but I'm not sure how to trim the text each time I call the server... Maybe it's very simple but I'm new to programming and don't know where to start! Any ideas? Thank you!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
