STEP 2: Place a <div> element with 'id="board"' on your web-page. If this contains text, it will be used in the animation, but it can be left empty. For example: or just... Don't put anything other than text between the <div> tags.
STEP 3: You can add extra text by changing the values at the start of the script, and you change the speed of operation. You can also change the height of the font. If you wish to apply any style (CSS), do this on the <div> tag. A monospace font works best but is not essential.
THAT'S IT When your page loads, the text you have used will be animated as if it was an airport or railway arrival or departure board just like that at the top of this web-page.
