    Creating a text field effect

    Posted by Cristiane Morandin on August 23, 2017 at 3:00 pm

    Hi there

    Is there any way to create a type effect where you input new text into an existing? Basically, I’m recreating a web interface where the user is adding new text into an existing field that already has some text. So the existing text needs to move further right/down as the new content is added at the beginning of the line.

    I know it can be done by moving the elements individually but I was wondering if there’s an easier way to do this.

    Thanks for any help.

    Hi Dave

    Thanks for the suggestion. I did think of using text animators to start with but somehow didn’t see how to work it out.
    It works well enough now.

    Thanks!
