Hi all!

Marquee tag

This is a tag that creates kind of slide show ;)

It begins with opening tag <marquee>, and ends with closing tag </marquee>.

For example:

<marquee behavior=”scroll” align=”center” direction=”right” width=”160″ height=”150″ scrollamount=”4″ scrolldelay=”50″ onMouseOver=”this.stop()” onMouseOut=”this.start()”>

<p>Marquee starts!!!</p>

<IMG SRC=”http://www.fshn.cahs.colostate.edu/ram_logo_2_clr.gif” HEIGHT=30 WIDTH=30 ALT=”Marquee Example”>
</marquee>

You can configure width and height of the sliding objects, and also direction like which direction that objects moving (up, down, right left)
For this example I used:

Scrolldelay – how long to delay between each jump
onMouseOver – when mouse cursor is over the marquee area
onMouseOut - mouse cursor is out of the marquee area

Also you can have other options:

  • SCROLLAMOUNT: how far to jump
  • LOOP: how many times to loop
  • BGCOLOR: background color
  • HSPACE: horizontal space around the marquee
  • VSPACE: vertical space around the marquee

Marquee is useful. Some people waste their times that doing what marquee does, on other programs. Don’t waste your time.

Good gravy you sure do know your way around a computer! All this “marquee” html code is overwhelming! Come to think of it, all html code is overwhelming for me. You do a wonderful job of explaining it though and the example definitely helped me out. I just have one question: would you build my website for me?? lol
