setInterval instead of setTimeout

itsita001 · Nov 21, 2002

How would i use setInterval instead of the setTimeout in this code, so it would have the same effect?

<html>
<body>

<div id="datacontainer" style="position:absolute;left:0;top:10;width:100%" onMouseover="scrollspeed=0" onMouseout="scrollspeed=cache">
