how can i make this....

goto this link and see the text sliding after regular intervals

well i want to learn to make this so that i could make this alt text...

it is supposed to be a dynamic news scroller.... but to make this i know i will have to learn the thingy on the link that i gave you... then the next steps are going to take me to dynamic news scroller

PARDON my so abstract question, actually i don't have any knowledge about this or what this methodology\technique... so i need some leads on how to learn to make this... i have been experimenting with JavaScript set Timeout function but that didn't work...

so the leads

  • what is this thing called.. so i could google it... like drop down menus are called CSS Drop Down Menus or Flash Drop Down Menus etcetra
  • or can anybody post link to some tutorials in domain of HTML, DHTML, CSS, JavaScript & PHP.. cuz thats what i know
  • or some-generous-body could throw in some code or some functions required for this to get me started learnin' this

p.s. HOW TO MAKE TEXT AFTER REGULAR INTERVALS WITH SLIDE-IN & OUT ANIMATION

@Moon: You can cycle everyhing, not only images. You can even build your own pagination handler. It is very powerful. Just check out the examples.

@vaibhav: a little more favor... i don't know jQuery man... so please tell me which JS library to add, where to get it...
Junaid Saeed
@Moon: the required js library appears to be jQuery 1.4.2 (I'd recommend linking to Google's hosted version, info here: http://code.google.com/apis/libraries/devguide.html#jquery). To enable autoplay add an integer value to the `timeout` (replace the 0 with a 1000 for a one-second pause before auto-scrolling).
