I would like to know what is the way of doing following effect
I want a piece of text to be slowly (or quickly) written on the screen after one visits my webpage.
I was inspired by following page
http://today.reuters.com/news/home.aspx
have look at that text effect which is placed just under the search field (Latest news)

it's done in javascript and when you view the source it should be pretty straight forward.
EDIT: And the

is pretty uberly commented.
