marquee question

[R. Hamm]

I have this code in my html: (I am using IE6)

<font color="#00ff00" font="arial" size="6">
<marquee width="60%" scrolldelay="0" behavior=crossing>
my text
</marquee>

It works except I can't change the font, I tried putting the font code in
the marquee line and no go either.
t.i.a.

Besides the fact that <marquee> was never a part of any HTML
specifications, what information do you have that is not important enough
that it can't be permanently displayed on the page, but is important enough
that people will wait for it to return if they miss it?

About the importance, it's just for looks, no biggy.

Then I suggest you get rid of it. It will annoy your visitors, and detract
their attention from the rest of your page.

BTW: Please don't post upside-down.

Being a non-standard element, you can't guarantee anything about its
presentation - even if you find something that works in IE, it
probably won't in the various other browsers.

Besides, using marquees is a bad idea anyway:

Your question hasn't been answered yet so try this:

<marquee width="60%" scrolldelay="0" behavior="crossing" style="font-family:
verdana">
my text
</marquee>

I agree with the previous replies though. <marquee> shouldn't be used for a
public web site.

You really should visit http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/ and
http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/ before you ask more questions like this.

Depends how it's used. I thought it was quite novel on a website I recently came across when I was
searching for a bike for my kids. It was at http://www.dwg-atv.co.uk/
