automatic scrolling text

[frumau]

Has anybody any idea how to create an easy automatically scrolling text on a website? One that will work in Firefox, Netscape and Internet Explorer?

No, an automatic scrolling text, one going from the top to the bottom(so horizontally yes..). I will put the latest items in it with clickable links. I would like to place it inside a table cell and make it work in explorer, netscape and firefox.

Thanx for the help!

Top to bottom would actually be vertical.

<div
align="center"> <marquee bgcolor="#000080" scrollamount="2"
direction="up" loop="true" width="35%"> <center>
<font color="#ffffff" size="+1"> THIS
IS A COOL WAY
TO MAKE YOUR TEXT
SCROLL UPWARDS


IT IS EASY AND FAST LOADING </font> </center> </marquee></div>

That should work.

Thanks. That works excellent! By the way..is there a way to add some code that makes the scrolling stops when your mouse goes over the marquee area? A sort of mouse over effect?

Regards,

I found all the necessary information. This is what a decided to use in the end:

<marquee bgcolor="#FFFFFF" scrolldelay="300"(together with scroll amount this function handles the scrolling speed) onMouseover="this.scrollAmount=1"(when the mouses passes over the text) onMouseout="this.scrollAmount=2"(when the mouse leaves the text area
direction="up" loop="true"(continuous news feed) width="120">

There is only one thing bothering me. In Firefox the text is first displayed as ordinary text before the browser realizes there is a marquee and displays it scrolling...
Any suggestions?

It's very easy to do with javascript...

Try creating a loop...

Like this...

function scrolling(){
window.scroll+=speed;
}

settimeOut("scrolling"),100);

An speed will be the lines to scroll...

so declare: var speed;
at the top of the script...

and that will do... If you want to change the scrolling speed you can add "speed=(your speed)" to any event... and set speed=0 to stop scrolling...

I did an autoscrolling text to show the top 10 posts on a forum at the home page and stuff like that...

Hope I have help... You can email me for a complete source code... :P
