[Guide] How to make Text move
« on: June 01, 2011, 10:04:48 am »
Guys I am not sure wether this has been done or not so am I gonna do it to help you guys  8)

Basically this is HTML so the codes will go before the text that you have entered

Code: [Select]
<MARQUEE BEHAVIOR=SCROLL> that will make your text scroll across the screen

Now if you want it to go back and forth you use this code

Code: [Select]
<MARQUEE BEHAVIOR=ALTERNATE>
NOTE:

The html marquee code can be used in the header, footer, portal block area of your forum.
It will only work in a forum post if posted by you, the Administrator , using the html tags:

Code: [Select]
[html]
place marquee code here
[/html]

Credits:
50% Credits to my friend Rob who helped me learn this type of coding
50% To me for doing the coding and posting it

Thanks guys and I hope this Helped

Note to Administrators/Moderators

I am not sure wether this has been posted before I am only trying to help so if it has please do not delete this topic or blame it on me



Thanks everyone ;)

Hi Marty-LR
Yeah there is information in several places on the forum about how to do marquees.   I need to point out some things:

The marquee html tag is a non standard html element and is deprecated by W3C and recommended by them not to use it in html documents.    It'll still work but not in all browsers and not properly in all browsers.   

Also, the code should be in lower case letters and you have to make sure to close it so please note that in your directions.
If it is not closed everything after the <marquee> tag is going to scroll.


<marquee behaviour="alternate">
text here
</marquee>                        <-------  always close html tags

This site http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/_MARQUEE.html (its posted in the HTML board and many other places here at support)  has info for the marquee tag but they need to update it and stop using capital letters and put in the apostrophys.   It is sloppy html on their part but will give you an idea of the usages of the marquee element.
