DHTML Dancing Text

This is a JavaScript that creates a dancing effect for a text like the one above.

You can change the text by changing the variable text_dance. The distance of the text from top can be changed by changing the variable begin_pos (Here it is 55). The distance of the text from the left can be changed by changing the variable left_pos (Here it is 125). The jump height can be changed by changing the variable jump_height (Here it is 3). You can also change the speed by changing the variable time_length.
