Welcome to Tom's Web |
This is a marquee.
The
codes that make a Marquee work are two new HTML tags .
The start <marquee>
And the end </marquee>
If you use view source you
will see the codes look like this.
<marquee><marquee>This
is a Marquee.
It is part of the HTML </marquee></marquee>
It is just the text you want to scroll between the marquee start and end tags.
You can format a marquee to adjust its direction and speed, behavior, alignment, size, number of repetitions, and background color.
You can format the font in a marquee to adjust font size, style, color, and character spacing.
A marquee can be as simple as the
at the top of this page which is just the marquee start tag <marquee>the
text you want to scroll</marquee>
and the end tag .
This will make a marquee with black text scrolling across the hole screen.
Ro you can use the full parameters of the Tag like the one below.
</p><marquee><blink>What could be worse?</blink></marquee></p>
By
putting the marquee inside a paragraph tag we can control where we place it on
the page alignment with <p
align="center">
where "center"
can be
either
"left", "center"
or
"right".
The</p> at
the end tells
the browser that the paragraph is ending and that every thing between the two
tags is Aligned center.
The
<b> at
the start and the </b> at
the end tells the browser that the text between the two tags will be bold.
These tags also could be
<i> </i>
for italics
or <u> </u> for under line or
a combination.
The <font color="#FF0000" is the color you want the text to be can be any thing from Black "#000000" to "#FFFFFF" white.
The size="4" is the size of the text. Can be any thing from 1 to 7.
The face="Copperplate Gothic Bold"> is the stile of the text in the marquee can be any font you like.
And now we get to the marquee tag <marquee behavior="alternate" bgcolor="#FFFF00" width="50%">
The <marquee is the start of the marquee. The </marquee> is the end of the marquee.
The behavior="alternate"
is how this marquee works. Could be
"Scroll"
or "slide".
The bgcolor="#FFFF00"
is the color of the back ground can
be any
thing from "#000000" to
"#FFFFFF".
The width="50%" is how wide you want the window to be. It cac be in % or in the number of pixels.
If the behavior=" " is not set . The direction=" " can be set its can be "Left: , "Right", "UP" or "down".
Next is the message you want
to be displayed in this case
it is "This marquee uses the full parameters
of the marquee tag as follows"
So what is all those ? well each one is a blank space on the last page we talked about them if you need more than one blank spase you have to put in one of them fore each space.
Other parameters of the marquee tag are
align="bottom"
scrollamount="70"
scrolldelay="220"
