I’d like to know how to create a text effect so that when the text is loaded, it comes out one letter at a time. so I have a link on where if you hover on it some text will appear above it, and I want that text to appear by spelling itself out. make sense? Thanks a lot to everyone who answers my questions, I’m sure if I just surfed long enough I could figure things out by myself, but everyone here is so helpful and I’m so lazy. 😃 thanks again.
