Teletext sytle web pages

How to make a web page look and act like Teletext

[afroken]

Me and a friend are looking for a way to make a teletext sytle web page. One that has a box that you key in the number of the page you want and then has a counter that cycles through till it get to that number and then displays the page.

I know this is a daft thing to want to do but its becoming a real puzzle for us.

Anyone got any ideas how this could be achived?

You might want to do a search for "viewdata" it's a protocal used by most of the travel industry and is very much like teletext.

I think it uses telnet as oposed to http though so might not be suitable for the general public.

Cheers. But I don't actually want the page to show teletext data, just look like teletext.

A bit like this...

Fixed width font; so use Courier. Then control the foreground and background through CSS - shouldn't be too tricky to create a "teletext" appearance. 40 characters by 24 rows I think.

Double height could be a bit tricky.

It is tricky, we've tried. The sytling I possible but very very iffy to say the least!

It's the counting script that is causing me the bother.
