Scrolling Marqee

Hello every one, hope all is well with you all.

I was hoping someone might help me with a question I have.

I need to know how to make my words scroll across the screen.

Please Help! :)

 

Thanks

There used to be a button for it...maybe it was disabled?

To do so, go <marquee> word </marquee>

 

That's marquee in the < > s, then your text followed by <, / marquee and >

 

<marquee>Hope it helps. :)</marquee>

 

Hmm, that's odd, maybe it has been disabled?

scrolling text...probably has been disabled. older machines have trouble using fancy schmancy stuff like that.

You have the right command... you are just missing one element.

 

You need to add [.doHTML] as the opening tag (without the period) and [./doHTML] to close the tag (again without the period.)

 

<marquee>Test text</marquee>

 

is really:

 

[.doHTML]<.marquee>Test text<./marquee>[./doHTML]

 

The dohtml tag is a security measure here on the boards to prevent some of the more malicious HTML tags from being used. :)

 

Hope that helps. ;)

Ooh, teach us how to do those!

Ummm... see post above? LOL

 

Anytime you want to include HTML tags such as <table></table> or <marquee></marquee>, you need to include [.doHTML] as the opening tag and [./doHTML] as the closing tag (without the period... I only include it so the board does not think I'm issuing a real command to do it.)

 

So if I want my text to scroll using the <marquee> tag, I would use:

 

[doHTML]<marquee>This is scrolling text</marquee>[/doHTML]

 

Using that code would result in:

 

<marquee>This is scrolling text</marquee>

 

That help?
