Hi
This code must start text moving a number of times according to the value entered in the <input>. The text can only start when 'ronmouseove' event is done over the text, not when the button is clicked. This is what now happens: the text starts moving after clicking on the button by this line: document.getElementById("clem").onmouseover = start(a); But I may as well write something like document.getElementById("clem").xxx = start(a); it also starts. Any hints? Thanks. V <html> <body> <div ID="cc" STYLE="position:fixed;top:50px">Moving text!</div> Number of times: <input id="Text1" type="text" style="width:30px" autofocus /> <input id="Button1" type="button" value="start" onclick="num()" /> <script type="text/javascript"> var go = document.getElementById("cc"); var x = 0; var y = 0;
function num() { var a = document.getElementById("Text1").value; go.onmouseover = start(a); }
function start(z) { y += 1; if (y < z * 500) { if (x < 500) { x += 1; go.style.left = x + "px"; if (x == 500) { x = 0; } setTimeout(start, 10, z); } } } </script> </body>
