MARQUEE ATTRIBUTES


Below are the attributes that presently (2003) work for MSNTV:

BEHAVIOR:
behavior=scroll direction=right (or) left; behavior=slide; behavior=alternate

BGCOLOR:
equals any color or hex code

SCROLLDELAY:
scrolldelay=50 (the lower the number, the faster the scroll.

SCROLLAMOUNT:
scrollamount=7 (the larger the number, the faster the scroll

LOOP:
loop=3 loop=infinite (number of times marquee will repeat itself)

HEIGHT:
height=#pixels

WIDTH:
width=#pixels or width=%

SPECIAL EFFECT - BLINKING:
scrollamount=400 scrolldelay=500 (no direction or scroll, etc)

TEXT COLOR:
Not a marquee attribute. Enclose the marquee with font tags that specify size and color.

MSNTV used to support other marquee attributes, like Vspace, Hspace, etc. But when they "upgraded" for the past 2 or 3 versions, they took away support for some of the older marquee attributes. So if you want a border and space above or below the marquee, then you must put the marquee inside a table.

For instance, in the title marquee above, the marquee itself is 40 pixels high. The text travels along the top of the marquee. Since I wanted a border and space above the text, I put the marquee inside a table and made the table cell 60 pixels high with the valignment at the bottom.

The marquee was invented for MS Internet Explorer. It does not work for Netscape, however. All Netscape users will see is stationary text.
