1. Introduction

There are a bunch of messages regarding marquee coding. So you don't have to go searching, the 
mountain comes to Mohamed. Here are all the marquee instructions in one place... 

***********************************************************************************************

2. The Basic Marquee Tag
------------------------


It's very simple.  It starts with a <marquee> tag and ends with a </marquee> tag, like this...


<marquee>This is my marquee</marquee>


Remember that everything starts with a <marquee> tag and ends with a closing </marquee > tag.



***********************************************************************************************

3. Some Simple Adjustments
--------------------------


Adding width='50%' to the opening marquee tag will adjust the width the marquee uses to 1/2
the normal space.  Use any number from something reasonably small to 100% (the default)...


<marquee width='50%'>This is my marquee</marquee>


Adding behavior='alternate' to the opening marquee tag will cause the marquee to alternate 
directions (bounce back and forth) ...


<marquee behavior='alternate'>This is my marquee</marquee>


Adding scrollamount='30' to the opening marquee tag will cause the marquee to speed up (the 
bigger the number the faster it goes)...


<marquee scrollamount='30'>This is my marquee</marquee>


Adding scrolldelay='200' to the opening marquee tag will delay the speed of the marquee (the 
bigger the number, the slower it goes)...


<marquee scrolldelay='200'>This is my marquee</marquee>


Adding direction='right' to the opening marquee tag will change the horizontal direction of the 
marquee from left to right...


<marquee direction='right'>This is my marquee</marquee>



***********************************************************************************************

4. Playing With Colors and Emphasis
-----------------------------------


To make the background of the marquee a different color (make a colored stripe, add 
bgcolor=yellow (or any lighter color) to the opening "marquee" tag...


<marquee bgcolor=yellow>This is my marquee</marquee>


Adding a separate bold tag <b> AFTER the opening marquee tag and a closing bold tag </b> right 
before the closing marquee tag makes the marquee text bold...


<marquee><b>This is my marquee message</b></marquee>


To make the text a different color, use a <font color=red> (or any color) tag after the opening 
"marquee" tag and the close the font tag </font> before the closing marquee tag...


<marquee><font color=red>This is my marquee message</font></marquee>



***********************************************************************************************

5. Using Multiple Changes
-------------------------


You can stack a lot of these parameters.  This is a BOLD red marquee...


<marquee><font color=red><b>This is my marquee message</b></font></marquee>



This is a fast, side-to-side, BOLD red marquee...


<marquee behavior='alternate' scrollamount='30'><font color=red><b>This is my marquee message</b></font></marquee>



Want it bigger? Add an set of h1 tags before and after the marquee tag.  This is a BOLD red 
Header 1 marquee...


<h1><marquee><font color=red><b>This is my marquee message</b></font></marquee></h1>
