hello.
i have the following piece of code:

</tr><tr>
<td bgcolor="#FFFFFF" width="148" height="18"><strong><font size="1" face="Tahoma"><strong> Search . . .</strong></font></strong></td>
<td width="36" height="18"><img src="images/index_22.gif" width="36" height="18"></td>
</tr><tr>

Instead of having 'Search. . .' how can i make a marquee in that space, just for that length too? Are they easily created?

thanks if you can help.

There is an html tag called marquee. You dont need java script or dhtml to do it just plain old html. Exuro's link is exactly what I am talking about. You just modify scroll direction and Scrollammound and the delay and you are set.

thanks.. but what i actually meant was.. how can i get one to fit in that space i have ? I pasted the code originally.
Because the <marquee> </marquee> tags only work in IE how could i achieve it in JS? I lokoed on some sites, but it seems they only go 'big', i wanted it to fit in that small space :o
thanks if you can help.

hi again.
Does this look right for my JS marquee?

in HEAD:

<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
var message = " My messages here ";
var marqueeMessage = new String();

function scrollMarquee() {
marqueeMessage = document.marqueeForm.marqueeText.value;
document.marqueeForm.marqueeText.value = marqueeMessage.substring(1) + marqueeMessage.substring(0, 1);
setTimeout('scrollMarquee()', 200);
}

//-->
</script>

then:

<body onLoad="greet_visitor();scrollMarquee();">

and from my first reply, the 'space' i want it to fit in:

</tr><tr>
<form NAME="marqueeForm">
<font FACE="Tahoma" SIZE="3"><b>
<input NAME="marqueeText" SIZE="30">
<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
document.marqueeForm.marqueeText.value = message;
//-->
</script>
</tr><tr>


Thanks if you can help.
