what does \\ mean in javascript

[jenjen1018]

im tryin to insert this javascript code in my page and customize it. It says in order to change anything, you must uncomment the script. does that mean to take out the \\ or the '' or what? im not very familar with javascript. here is the link http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex2/fader.htm

Yes, take the // out from the lines you want active.
These are the bits you are interested in...

Code: Select all

// uncomment any value you wanted to change
		//var TS_ymax    = 50;			// How many pixel to move
		//var TS_ystep   = 1;			// 1 or -1 only (Scroll direction)
		//var TS_speed   = 2;			// The smaller the value the faster
		//var TS_pause   = 100;			// Pause time(milisecond) between messages

Dont take the // at the right of these lines though else you will get errors

leave this bit alone:

//1) Configure messages:

just change the contents of these:

TS_message[0]
TS_message[1]
TS_message[2]

in case you dont understand, // comments out a line of code, and the code is not executed.

for example:

//this line of code wont do anything
this line of code will do something
