Effect desired:
Rome, August 12 like:

R
Ro
Rom
Rome
Rome,
Rome,
Rome, A
Rome, Au
Rome, Aug
Rome, Augu
Rome, Augus
Rome, August
Rome, August
Rome, August 1
Rome, August 12

I've got it working with javascript and HTML with a few lines of code as possible:

Code:

<BODY onLoad="Type()">
<script language="JavaScript">
var pos=0;
var speed=150;
var msg="Rome, August 12";
function Type(){
pos++;
 if (msg.substring(pos-1,pos) == " ")
 {
  pos++
 }
text=msg.substring(0,pos);
 if (document.layers)
 {
  document.layers.layerA.document.open();
  document.layers.layerA.document.write(text);
  document.layers.layerA.document.close();
 }
else if (document.all)
document.all.layerA.innerHTML=text;
 if (pos < msg.length)
 {
  tmer=setTimeout('Type();',speed);
 }
}
//-->
</script>
<DIV id="layerA"></DIV>

However it doesn't work.

Rome, August 12 is of course {param}

Will I have no luck trying to have a javascript bb code? :/

hmm, no idea about the JS part, but actually i'd use php instead

I don't know much PHP, and I can only find how to do this effect in flash or javascript. Any ideas what to try? :/
