Scrolling marquees with images that stop onmouseover

[drumbum360]

I would like some help with my marquee code. So far I have

<div align="center">

<marquee bgcolor="transparent" scrollamount="2" direction="up"
loop="true" width="100%" height="175">

<center>
<font color="#ffffff"><img src="abs.gif"><p><img src="badge.jpg"></font>
</center>

</marquee>

</div>

And I want it so when you put the mouse over the marquee, it stops and when you take it out, it resumes. Is this possible in HTML? If so then how. If not, what should I use? Thx for your help in advance

<span><img src="badge.jpg"></span>

[drumbum360]

so it should be?

<div align="center">

<marquee bgcolor="transparent" scrollamount="2" direction="up"
loop="true" width="100%" height="175">

<center>
<font color="#ffffff"><img src="abs.gif"><p><span><img src="badge.jpg"></span></font>
</center>

</marquee>

</div>

If that's it, it doesn't work.

Actually I was trying to suggest that you get rid of the marquee because they look awful and aren't good coding.

[drumbum360]

oh okay i'll try that and tell ya how it works. thx

BTW what does the <span></span> command do?

[drumbum360]

i have found out what <span></span> does and I don't like it. I want my marquee to scroll and when you put the mouse on it, it stops. So far the marquee looks really cool on my site and can't find out how to make it stop on mousover and continue onmouseout. please help me.

[drumbum360]

YES!! I got it:

<center>
<MARQUEE onmouseover=this.stop()

onmouseout=this.start() scrollAmount=2 scrollDelay=1 direction=up
width=88 height=175 bgcolor="transparent">
<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=1000>
<TBODY><TR><TD>

<a href="www.detallic.com"><img src="badge.jpg" border="0"></a>
<br>
<a href="www.albinoblacksheep.com"><img src="abs.gif" border="0" width="88" height="31"></a>

<TABLE height=100 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY></TABLE></MARQUEE>
</center>

I edited that to fit my needs and it works exactly how I want it to!
I read boroarke's question on Vertically scroll page and found this code:

<MARQUEE onmouseover=this.stop()
style="BORDER-RIGHT: 3px double; BORDER-TOP: 3px double; BORDER-LEFT: 3px double; BORDER-BOTTOM: 3px double"
onmouseout=this.start() scrollAmount=1 scrollDelay=1 direction=up
width=738 height=202 bgcolor="#000000">
<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=1000 bgColor=white border=0>
<TBODY><TR><TD><a target="_blank" href="www.redirectedpage.com"><img src="image.bmp" width="737
" height="393"></a><TABLE height=100 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY></TABLE></MARQUEE></marquee></a>

just changed it and its perfect... :)

<marquee> is a deprecated tag that only works in Internet Explorer. Scrolling effects such as that should be left ENTIRELY for JS, for cross browser compatibility.

Or maybe just left for the list of “Things to not put on a website,” since scrolling stuff is annoying, and that’s why you have a scrollbar. ;)

[drumbum360]

yes i know but my site is condensed so the normal scrollbar isn't usable i want it nice small and simple so i used an i frame and i'm putting badges imgs.. with links to those sites that relate to this one. i'll tell ya when its up on the internet so u can see wut i mean. for now check out this screenshot i took of it:

http://www.geocities.com/white_scar_ver/screen.gif

for some reason if you click the link, it doesn't work so u have to type it in the address bar to see it or copy/paste

Marquees actually function minimally in Mozilla, and Opera if I remember right. Although, I couldn't be too sure, since I haven't used them for, let's see, 3, carry over the 1, bring down a 2, a long while :)

well i think i understood what you wanted to scroll, but if you absolutely must scroll something then you should use flash. it's always cross-browser and if need be, the user can just download the plugin.

Ugh, Geocities: "the seed of Beezlebub" - PeoFeo. I'd get a new host before you do anything else.

[drumbum360]

that geocities account is from like my 1st site ever that i made and i just used it to host my screenshot for now of our site because it's not up yet.

[steelersfan88]

I am very proud to say I never used Geocities. I have been with the same server forever, and they treat me like a, an administrator (since I am 1).

[drumbum360]

thats kool, i haven't had enough money to afford my own site yet so i've been using free hosts and i used homestead back when it wuz free. i used to use wysiwyg editors then somehow i dropped that i dunno wut made me do it but i did and learned html a long while ago and have been making html sites for a while but this one i have created is by far the best. its a site for me and my friend and we are splitting the costs for it.
