text printing on scren

[feedfx]

I would like to know how I can read a string, and than have a JavaScript function print on the screen, character by character. I'm a newbie, heavily hooked on this language, I’ve memorized the basics, and have done some of my own code. But a friend who has been in the biz for a while gave this problem to me, and he told me that it would be good practice. Unfortunately, three hours in front of the tube is about all I can take. So I hope some one could hook me up.

Thanx a lot!!

Steve

<div id=&quot;freep&quot;></div>
<script>
dar = &quot;Oh no, my horse turned into a fileeater!&quot;
currpos = 0
function typeString(str)
{
if(currpos<str.length)
freep.innerHTML+=str.charAt(currpos++)
else{clearInterval(jack)}
}
jack=setInterval(&quot;typeString(dar)&quot;,100)
