How To Make a MarqueeHow To Make a Marquee

One effect that I really love is the marquee. With a little imagination you can create some beautiful and colorful effects. When creating a marquee a couple of things you should take into consideration are that it slows the speed of your animations down, and when you put two marquee's too close together both of them will drag.
The basic code for the marquee is

Note: The center tag does'nt work with this code. In order to center the blinking text you must enclose the code within the <pre></pre> tags and use the space bar to move the text where you want it on the page.

Example

<pre>
<marquee scrollamount="500" scrolldelay="400">
 ��              your text goes here

</marquee>
</pre>

Like I said, with a little imagination you can create some great looking marquees. Ok, here's another example. This one is enclosed in a table.

<table border="10" bgcolor="#ff1493"><tr>
<td align="center">
<font size="6" color="blue"> <marquee bgcolor="gold" behavior="alternate" width="350" scrollamount="3">Have a Great Day!!!</marquee> </font> </td> </tr> </table>

And here it is.

Have a Great Day!!!

Let's see what you can come up with!
