Dynamic text rewriting

Hi !

I saw some websites with a cool feature: rewriting all or part of a text with js ( a part example) but can I do this in js without an infinity loop that'll completely slow down browser performances?

I would love to implement my own version but have no clue on how.
Thanks for your help !

Exactly what I needed! I feel ashamed of not having found that ^ "
Thank you very much, I finally added it to my site!
