Moving text takes in a lot of territory, and I am not sure what you
might like. IE browsers support a marquee tag that causes text to move
across the screen, but this is not supported by many other browsers.

You can also use code to allow you to drag-and-drop text, images, or a
whole mixed division around anywhere on the screen. See
http://www.cwdjr.net/test/newDrag.html. Click on and hold down the
mouse key over an image or text and then move the mouse to move the
text or image. For other text effects, go to
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex10/index.html. These effects
will be shown when you view a page there for each effect. Note that
some work for most recent browsers, and some work only for a certain
family of browsers, such as IE.

These types of effects are not used nearly as much as in the past,
especially on business sites. Some, including several who use this
group, dislike such effects quite a bit.
