Java Script For Alert-It Scroller Internet Explorer

Description: This unique scroller scrolls text at the very top of the page, making it hard to ignore. It's useful to broadcast important messages to your visitors. The number of times the text is scrolled across the page is customizable (ie: 2 times than disappear), with the scroller slowing down when the mouse moves over the message. Note that this script is visible only in IE. Comment Me if you have any doughts or if it is not working.
