Link in scroll

Here's the dilema and the code.  I am trying to get a hypertext link to 
appear n a scroling banner.  When you execute the code, the link shows 
as the text rather than the link.  Any assistance will be appreciated 
and final code submitted to JavaScript 411.  Thanx in advance, the 
code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC>
<HTML><HEAD>
<TITLE>Scrolling Link</TITLE>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
var TheLink="<A HREF='scrollex.htm' TARGET='_top'>Scroller</A>"
var LinkSize=TheLink.length
var wait=105, timer1;
var msg1="Here is the sample of a hypertext link  ";
var msg2="    In a scroll window .......";
var msg=msg1+TheLink+msg2;
function banner() {
	 if (msg.substring(0, LinkSize) == TheLink)
            {
                 msg = msg.substring (LinkSize, msg.length) +
msg.substring (0, LinkSize);
            }
         else msg = msg.substring (1, msg.length) + msg.substring 
(0,1);
// msg=msg.substring(1, msg.length) + msg.substring(0, 1);
	document.banner.text.value=msg;
	timer1=setTimeout("banner()", wait);
}

function pause() {
	clearTimeout(timer1);
	timer1=setTimeout("banner()", 3000);	
}
// -->
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR=midnightblue onLoad="banner()">
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
document.write('<form name="banner"><input type="text" name="text" 
value="Blah, Blah, Blah " size="68" pause()><br></form>');
// -->
</script>
</BODY>
</HTML>
