Place this script up above te HTML code..

___________________________________________________
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
//Thank you using this script.

// You may edit the message below.

var startMsg = "Welcome to www.and1balla.s5.com";

var str = "";
var msg = "";
var leftMsg = "";


function setMessage()
{
if (msg == "")
{
str = " ";
msg = startMsg;
leftMsg = "";
}

if (str.length == 1)
{
while (msg.substring(0, 1) == " ")
{
leftMsg = leftMsg + str;
str = msg.substring(0, 1);
msg = msg.substring(1, msg.length);
}

leftMsg = leftMsg + str;
str = msg.substring(0, 1);
msg = msg.substring(1, msg.length);

for (var ii = 0; ii < 120; ii++)
{
str = " " + str;
}
}
else
str = str.substring(10, str.length);

window.status = leftMsg + str;
// This editable value (1000 = 9 second)
// corresponds to the speed of the shooting
// message.
timeout = window.setTimeout('setMessage()',100);

}
// -->


<!--Update the BODY tag for the timer function.-->

<!-- You may edit the BODY color. -->
<BODY bgcolor="#FFFFFF" onload="timeout = window.setTimeout('setMessage()',500);">

One question? Why would you do all that work when there is a way simpler way to do this? All you have to do is get your table, you can make it in photoshop or something, then inside the table put the following code, I'll do an EXAMPLE table, this table doesn't look fancy at all so don't expect much from it.
HTML: 
<table width=200 height=50 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 bordercolor=black border=1>
<tr><td><marquee>This is what would show up and it would be scrolling text like what was shown in the above post!</marquee></td></tr></table>

Because the script he's shown scrolls the text in the status bar, you can't do this with a normal marquee.

If any site has this I will not trust the site and instantly exit the entire browser window. This script will cause less and less people to visit your site because you're masking links in the status bar. Sorry, but it's true.

Still, there is an easier way. Put this code into the body tag

Code: 
onload="window.status='Your text here!';return true


so, you should have this as a body tag now:

<body onload="windiow.status'Your Text here!';return true">


Note, this does not scroll, but it saves lots of space.
