nextchar++;
temp+=line[nextline].charAt(nextchar);
document.bannerform.banner.value=temp+cursor
setTimeout("animate()",50)}

//if IE 4+ or NS6
if (document.all||document.getElementById)
window.onload=animate
// -->

Logical "and" in javascript is &&

For example:
if (temp==line[nextline] & temp.length==line[nextline].length &
nextline!=lines)

should be:

if (temp==line[nextline] && temp.length==line[nextline].length &&
nextline!=lines)
