Creating an HTML Marquee / Scrolling Text
The HTML MARQUEE
tag is used to scroll text across a web page and is only supported by Microsoft
Internet Explorer.
You can change the marquee background color, width, the number of times your
message will scroll, and the speed that your text scrolls, by adding the
following attributes within your MARQUEE tag.
BGCOLOR="#CCCCCC" - background color
LOOP - Determines how many times the text will scroll. -1 is indefinite
and will continuously scroll. You can set this to whatever you'd like.
SCROLLAMOUNT - Determines the speed your text will scroll.
WIDTH - Determines the width of your marquee.
