1) The document shouldn't need a "<form></form> to wrap input elements 
that are not actually submitted as a form using post or get request. Such 
form elements just need placing in a suitable block level container.

2) The two un-named forms both contain inputs called name1 and name2. It 
might be better to give these inputs unique names and ids within the 
document if they need identification.

3) You appear to use js code to write out the grids that creates two 
grids that may contain spans having the same id attribute as the 
equivalent span in another grid. This is very bad. A document should only 
contain one element with any given id.

4) I suspect that code has been copied from one location to another 
location without changing all the places that need changing to make the 
code work in the second location.

http://www.sined.co.uk/tmp/fortune4t.html

contains various methods of displaying characters with a timeout, 
hopefully one of them might do what you're looking for.

I'm sure that other real coders can come up with several different 
methods of doing the same thing, and I also have no doubt that some 
people will have no contribution whatsoever to make but will attempt to 
display the pretence of great knowledge by declaring that every method 
I've used is flawed in some way whilst resolutely failing to actually 
suggest what they think is the correct method, or even a valid way, to 
achieve the required result.
