Let's liven things up a bit!




Travel Left

Ever seen a website with a banner of words running across the screen? This is done with the marquee tag.

<marquee>Buy Now and SAVE</marquee>

It will look like this on your screen.

Buy Now and SAVE

It will depend on which browser you are using as to whether or not these marquee tags work. It's not always a good idea to use a marquee as an important part of your page, knowing that not everyone will see it as you do.

Try these tags in your html coding and see if they work.

Marquee with bgcolor

<marquee bgcolor="??????>Write something in here</marquee>

Hi There



Set Width

<marquee width="40%">Text in here</marquee>

This is only 40% of the page.



Alternate

<marquee behavior="alternate">Hello there!</marquee>

Hello there!



Travel Right <marquee direction="right">This will travel to the right hand side.</marquee>

This will travel to the right hand side.



Travel Up

<marquee direction="up"> Now we go UP</marquee>

Now we go UP



Travel Down

<marquee direction="down">Now we go DOWN</marquee>

Now we go DOWN



Note
Have some fun with them. Try out different things: change the color of the text, size of the text, different fonts, center the marquee.
Just remember, don't use too many on a page, it's too powerful and can be distracting. You don't want the end user to click away from your website because of too many marquees.
