This example shows how to use JavaScript to create a dynamic quotes engine. To use it, simply cut/paste the code into the page where you want it. It uses a named HTML container as the receptacle for the dynamically updating quotes list. It also incorporates an transistion filter to achieve a cool visual effect. The filter is only support in Microsoft Internet Explorer browsers, but should fail friendly for folks without browser support.
What's so cool about this?
It appears that JavaScript structures and data do not get indexed by search engines.
This is a problem if you want your quotes or data to be searchable. This example uses
an HTML container to populate the dynamic quote list. This should mean the quotes can be
indexed by search, giving you the best of both worlds.
