True to the nature of the required scripts, I have made <a href="http://www.geocities.com/red_bo" style="position: relative; padding-left: 8px; zoom: 1;"><span style="position: absolute; top: -5px; left: 0px; width: 16px; height: 16px; background: URL(http://www.weirdlooking.com/exticon?http%3A%2F%2Fwww.geocities.com%2Fred_bo) no-repeat center center; -moz-opacity: 0.3; opacity: 0.3; filter:alpha(opacity=30);"></span>a Web page about my dog</a> and also hosted it on geocities.<br /><br />Most of my effort was put into re-implementing the “dragging clock” so that it works in both Firefox and IE. I haven’t gotten the dragging effect quite right, but I expect I will. I wasn’t sure what he meant by “a banner with scrolling text”, but I didn’t want to just write a poor man’s version of the <code>marquee</code> tag. So I made some text that moves along a sine wave — something I’m <span style="font-style: italic;">fairly</span> sure marquees can’t do.<br /><br />On the plus side, the semester is over in a week.http://www.weirdlooking.com/atom/comments/415
