Hello

 

I'm looking for a dramatic jquery text effect that says HELLO upon my website loading.

Does anyone have idea ideas?

 

I've done a bit of searching and cannot really find any good text effects but I'm a beginner at jquery so might be looking in the wrong places.

 

Also if anyone knows a stylish news ticker that would be good to here - I found a basic one at http://www.jquerynewsticker.com/ which will do but was hoping for something with a little more styling.

 

Thanks

James

If you're wanting to do animation then don't use jQuery, it's animation has really poor performance. Check out this: http://greensock.com/gsap

 

Although if you're JavaScript skills are lacking you might find this endeavor of animating text a little challenging.

 

I wrote a script that can separate all the letters and words in a string into spans:

Wraps all individual characters and words within the passed elements with spans that have corresponding classnames. This is useful if you wish to manipulate each individual character or word, with an animation. Takes any valid DOM selector as an argument.  Can be called like: wrapText('.js-text');

Thanks for the suggestion on Greensock. I've had a play around this morning and unsurprisingly for me I cannot get it to work!
