Adding (html) Marquees ?
posted on: 3/27/2004 2:48:47 AM

It is possible to add marquees to your boards. Sometimes I might have a announcment that I want my members to see so I will add the message in my header using Marquee.

Marquee will enter from the right hand side of the screen and move its way left by default but if you use Attributes in your coding, you can controll how your text will move.

-Examples-
<marquee>This would be the default</marquee>
In this example I put no Attributes so the behavior of the marquee would be default.

Now by adding a simple attribute we can make the marquee text move basically any direction you would like.

<marquee behavior= alternate>This would make the text scroll from side to side</marquee>
Instead of entering from one direction and disappearing on the other we alternate the behavior thus the text will simply bounce from one side to the other.

<marquee direction= down>Or you can even make the text enter from the top</marquee>
and move its way down. Replace down with up and you get the opposit effect.

There are many programs out now a days that produce the same things as marquee, like java or javascript but when you have a limited amount of space, like you do when you do your own heading, marquee is the more compact way to go and Marquee is easy to learn.
