For full source code, installation instructions,

Rewritten by Twey to be compatible with Firefox
(and now Konqueror and presumably Safari).
The script will strip all HTML tags from the text, but
non-supporting browsers won't.  This will allow you to
hide the text or display differently on such browsers.

interval = 100; // Interval in milliseconds to wait between characters

if(document.getElementById) {
  t = document.getElementById("typing");
  if(t.innerHTML) {
    typingBuffer = ""; // buffer prevents some browsers stripping spaces
    it = 0;
    mytext = t.innerHTML;
    t.innerHTML = "";
    typeit();
  }
}

function typeit() {
 // mytext = mytext.replace(/<([^<])*>/, "");     // Strip HTML from text
  if(it < mytext.length) {
    typingBuffer += mytext.charAt(it);
    t.innerHTML = typingBuffer;
    it++;
    setTimeout("typeit()", interval);
  } else {
    t = document.getElementById("typing");
    if(t.innerHTML) {
      typingBuffer = ""; // buffer prevents some browsers stripping spaces
      it = 0;
      mytext = t.innerHTML;
      t.innerHTML = "";
      typeit();
    }

Really neat, any ideas on how to stop the process after first run. It makes posts below it jumpy to read in replay mode. I did a search at http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ but no joy thus far.

Need something like, when more than one line; run once then stop. Hope that makes sense! Cheers...
