Marquee Command

tom_ass19 · 01-02-2006 12:23PM #1

Im just doing a basic HTML site, all i want to do is have the marquue command isolated to a specific space. Like start at the specific line and end at a specific line. Like i dont want it to go from one side of the page to the other, I want it like the example below. Any help would be great thanks.

example:

______________<start here>_______________________________________________<end here>

Nooooo! For the sake of your site and your visitors, please don't use the marquee tag. It's very tacky and amateurish looking.

Having said that, if you still want to use it then you can position it properly by putting it in a table.

ya i know, its only for a ****y website that my friend wants me to make for his gf birthday, just a few links, he loved the idea of the marquee command so ill leave him off. could you write the command for the table and have the marquee command inside please. im just very busy and dont really have the time to go to bloody websites n find tuts on it. thanks.

Normally i would never do this but its so easy. Here you go..

<html>

<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
</head>

<body>

<table border="0" width=100%>
  <tr>
    <td width="15%"></td>
    <td width="85%"><MARQUEE DIRECTION=RIGHT>Happy Birthday</MARQUEE></td>
  </tr>
</table>

</body>

</html>

Here is a link of what it looks like

Strange I thought FF didn't support Marquee.

why did your friend ask you to design the site if you don't know how to do it?
would you like us to design the entire thing for you? :rolleyes:

Surely the marquee and table tags were covered in your first few HTML lectures? Also the fact that you are doing it in college means that you should have some kind of notes on it. Anyhow, I suggest that if you are planning on passing the HTML exam then read through www.w3schools.com/html

No it's not. It's the effort. But you'll find that out soon enough.
