Fading Text Effect

I've tried the insert HTML fragment function in Publisher and nothing works
when I preview the web page. I must be doing something wrong. I'm trying to
get the effect like the one found here:
http://chemmac1.usc.edu/java/fade/fade.html , or the one found here:
http://www.hypergurl.com/fadingtext.html .

I'd like to use it to make the title words on my web page fade in and out -
this is what I have so far: www.solhedge.com.

I am a complete beginner. Could anyone give me detailed instructions?
Thanks so much!

Some JavaSript does require adding script to the head section of a page for
it to work, which you can't do in Publisher. Some script says it needs to be
added to the head section and it doesn't. There was 94,200 hits by Google
for "fading text javascript"...keep trying different code snippets until you
find one that works in Publisher. Welcome to the trial and error of web
building...

Thanks. Does anyone else know of a code for this that works in Publisher? I
may have to upgrade to Front Page. Does anyone know if FP does this? Thanks

Also, it seems that some of the code I am findign comes with a data file.
Where am I supposed to save this data file so that the hmtl code I insert
into Publisher finds it? Thanks

You definitely do not want to use Java as in your first link below. Java
Virtual Machine (JVM) is no longer installed on most machines, so your
viewers would have to download JVM from Sun and install it on their machine.

Java Script may work for you, look at http://www.dynamicdrive.com maybe you
will find something there. Then again if your viewer has java script
disabled in their browser it wont work.

Another, and perhaps better, method would be to create a small Flash file
(SwishMax is less money), but you will still have the same problem if your
viewer has Flash turned off.

You could also, try creating an animated .gif.

just a thought...

You might try the free Nvu program. It is an Open Source program for web
authoring distributed through this site: http://www.nvu.com

After many, many hours I still cannot get anything to work. Let me know if
anyone else out there could provide a link to something that works in
Publisher and instructions for a novice!! Thank you!
