Professor Al Presents JavaScript Fading Text Animator Script

MSIE Fading Text Animator

Text Animator for MSIE Browsers
This Text Animator is a great text effect. It fades in and out infinite text messages, with each message optionally being clickable. This did work great before in the old Browsers; more work is needed to return it to its old glory!

Highlight all the code in the textbox below and paste it into the body of your document. There is quite a bit of code, just follow the comment instructions given to personalize the code for your needs.
