My first guess is that you are confusing Java with JavaScript. JavaScript doesn't support keywords like import and export.

My next guess is that you are trying to animate a piece of text by moving it diagonally down the page. Nothing wrong with that, but you might like to try...

* using a <div> instead of <layer>. layers were only really a Netscape thing anyway

* use style=&quot;position:absolute&quot; in the div. This tells the browser that your div doesn't fit in with the rest of the document flow.

* use style properties left and right to control the position of the div

something like...
<div id=&quot;ani1&quot; style=&quot;position:absolute; background:yellow&quot;>
Hello World
</div>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript1.2&quot;>
function move(x,y)
{
document.getElementById('ani1').style.left = x;
document.getElementById('ani1').style.top = y;
}
var x = 0; y = 0;
setInterval(function() { move(x, y); x = (x + 5)%200; y = (y+5)%200; }, 100);
</SCRIPT>


Please note, the above code will not work on some older browsers (e.g. Netscape 4.7)
