The Speed of Scrolling Text

[tintin]

Is there a way of controlling the speed of text (within <Marquee> tags), using in-line commands? [Its a pity there isn't a SCROLLSPEED="xxx" command; or is there???]

<marquee> is not a valid html tag. You should avoid using it. Although it looks cool to you, its very distracting to have text darting around for no specific purpose.

Point taken. The reason behind the scrolling text is to highlight to the reader(s) the latest company news item.

Do you have any alternative suggestion as to how we could go about it? [I'm sure you'll agree that flashing text is even worse! ;)]

Bold? Underline? Headings? Color? Size? Border? Background? put 'latest' in front of it in red?

Rathole Alert! :)

That's the second time to-day that I've come across Putt's Law!

Perhaps someone's trying to tell you something? LOL it's better than Sod's law. Or is it Murphys? (What can go wrong, will go wrong!!)
