- Loop mode with selectable pause.
* New in version 1.1
- Extra random delay based on characters sequence and time range.
- The core has been moved to an external file for a faster navigation between pages.

2. Type in the contents.
3. Style it as you want.
4. Drag and drop this extension.

You can dynamically change the contents of the text object and refresh it.
MyExtensionId.refresh('your new html-based content goes here...');
Just replace 'MyExtensionId' with the actual extension id as in the object manager panel.

Could there be a more appropriate place to use your latest extension than http://www.thetypewriterman.co.uk/ ?[RZ] wrote:[rz] Typewriter v1.0

I'm sure my client will like it.
I admire your excellent work creating these effective and easy-to-use extensions.
Thanks
Re: [rz] Typewriter

is this a question or a rhetorical expression?

Re: [rz] Typewriter
yes
it has many speed parameters, not only for the "global" speed
such as: start, end, lines breaks, styles changes among other cool features

Re: [rz] Typewriter
Does Google index the typed text?

Re: [rz] Typewriter
if your site is able to be indexed
the extension does not interfere in any way

Re: [rz] Typewriter
Well, a sort of question ! I was hoping for some comment on how clever I was to use the extension on the website !!![RZ] wrote:thank you for your kind words

No! - Not really, Just joking.
Anyway, I was just admiring the effect on the site a few minutes ago, and I started thinking about having the sound of a typewriter audible as the text appears. I suppose a sound clip could be triggered by the event of the start of the Typewriter function, but synchronisation and duration could be a problem. Probably beyond my skill levels anyway, but for rz ???
Did you consider this aspect, or am I asking for the Moon when we already have the Stars ?
Re: [rz] Typewriter
hello donjohnson and thank you for your kind feedback
the "problem" is the sound
you should use html5 for the click click clik otherwise you should rely on flash... want you?
i can add a callback, there is no problem about it
anyhow the experts say that is not advisable that the site starts "de facto" with sounds and noises without the users' consent (sort of a click on a play button)

Re: [rz] Typewriter
Well, I found an appropriate sound file at http://www.soundjay.com/typewriter-sounds.html and - since the Typewriter function starts as the page loads, I added an event to trigger an HTML5 MP3 player.
I must say, it sounds quite good. (I got a rough synchronisation for the end by increasing the default character delay to 55 mS)
Have a listen at http://www.thetypewriterman.co.uk/ - it only plays once, so perhaps the guidelines for sounds at page opening might be stretched a bit for this particular application ?
However, Tom the Typewriter Man is rather conservative, so I wonder what he will think about it ?

Re: [rz] Typewriter
Do I need them? It seems to work quite well for me just triggering on page loading - but perhaps others might find them useful for more sophisticated applications.[RZ] wrote:i have in the queue some pending works, will try to do the callbacks asap next week
Re: [rz] Typewriter
will see what can be done...
Re: [rz] Typewriter
"Use <div> with position for each line" makes the cursor jump to the beginning repeatedly. Can you release a update? Is this free of charge?
