Larry Tesler's contributions to the field of computer science are many. His most significant one is something everyone uses daily, but doesn't really think about. Control-C, Control-V (Command-C/V, if you're on a Mac.) Copy, Paste. Copy, Paste. And on, and on...

d1 = document.getElementById("t1"); d2 = document.getElementById("t2");

function move() { v1 = d1.innerText; v2 = d2.innerText; if (v2 == '' || v2 == null) { if (gap >= 128) return; d1.innerText = ''; d2.innerText = v1; setTimeout('repaint()', interval 4); return; } v1 += v2.substring(0, gap); v2 = v2.substring(gap); d1.innerText = v1; d2.innerText = v2; setTimeout('move()', interval); }

function repaint() { v2 = d2.innerText; d2.innerText = v2 + ' ' + v2; gap = gap 2; setTimeout('move()', interval); }

interval = 40; gap = 4; setTimeout('move()', interval);
