CuePrompter: Javascript Teleprompter
Date : 2008 01 20 Category : Tech & Development
AjaxianCuePrompter (via DownloadSquad) is an browser-based teleprompt tool. Cut-and-paste some or insert some text and the application will scroll it forward or back, at your desired speed. A variant of the Ajax e-reader concept.
Peeking at the source, it's been around since 2005. Implementation is small and straightforward. It works using a timer and manipulation of the top CSS property to continuously re-position the top of the entire text. (A negative top value means the top of the passage is "above" the browser window; hence you'll see text further along in the passage.)
PLAIN TEXT JAVASCRIPT:function fward() { ... contentobj.top-=step ... scrolltimerdown = setTimeout("fward()",scspeed) }
