This is a JavaScript that creates a type writer effect for a text like the one above.<br><br>
You can change the text by changing the variable <font face="courier">text_type</font>.
The distance of the text from top can be changed by changing the variable <font face="courier">begin_pos</font> (Here it is 55). The distance of the text from the left can be changed by changing the variable <font face="courier">left_pos</font> (Here it is 110). You can also change the speed of typing by changing the variable <font face="courier">time_length</font>.
