This is a marquee

A Marquee allows you to scroll words across your screen. The code for a simple marquee is:

<<>marquee<>>Your text here<<>/marquee<>>


The are several different attributes you can add to your 'marquee' to change the speed, the color, the background, even the size of your text.

To make your marquee scroll faster use the following code. You can play with the numbers to adjust the speed to suit your needs.

<<>marquee scrollamount="20"<>>Your Text <<>/marquee<>>

Go Faster!

To make your marquee slower use this code. Again, you can change the numbers to get the desired effect.

<<>marquee scrolldelay="20"<>> Your Text<<>/marquee<>>

Go Slower!

If you put the two codes together, you will get a blinking text. Again play with the numbers to get different effects


<<>marquee scrollamount=200 scrolldelay=300<>> Your Text <<>/marquee<>>

.

Blinking!

You can change the color and size of your font using the font color and size tags, just make sure you change these attributes before the opening <<>marquee<>> tag! It would look like this:

<<>font color="red"<>><<>marquee<>>RED<<>/marquee><<>/font<>>
RED

or

<<>font size="7"<>><<>marquee<>>Big<<>/marquee<>><<>/font<>>
< P> BIG!

or
<<>Font color="limegreen" size="5"<>><<>marquee<>>WoW!!!<<>/marquee<>><<>/font<>> WoW

You can change the background color of the marquee by adding the attribute 'bgcolor=colorname' just before the closing bracket in the opening <<>marquee<>> tag.

<<>marquee bgcolor="black"<>>How about this!<<>/marquee<>>
How about this!

You can also change the behavior of the marquee by specifying 'direction=' and use 'right' or 'left' and 'behavior=' 'slide' or 'alternate'.

Examples:

<<>marquee direction="right"<>>Goes Right<<>/marquee<>>
Goes right

<<>marquee direction="right" behavior="slide"<>>Watch this<<>/marquee<>>
Watch this

Another attribute you can use is 'behavior="alternate':

<<>marquee behavior="alternate"<>>Looks like this<<>/marquee<>>

looks like this

One thing to remember, if you use more that one marquee on a page or e-mail, it will slow down the speed of the other marquees. Play with the numbers and combine different attributes. You'll be amazed at all you can do!
