How to use marquees (for beginners)

[King]

This applies to Internet Explorer only, but if done properly, you'll create a great effect without taking anything away from the Netscape user (who will simply see normal, static text). The simplest way to put a marquee on your page is this:

<marquee bgcolor = cornsilk>
Welcome to Webmasterforums.biz!
</marquee>


Note: You can change the background color (blue,yellow or black) to the color of your choice. Also, pay attention not to use long sentences, and always check how the text looks in Netscape!

If you'd like more control, you can specify the width and height of your marquee:

<marquee width="300" height="23">
This is a Test!
</marquee>


OK. Many people asked about the bouncing text, so here it is:

<marquee behavior=alternate bgcolor=cornsilk>
Welcome to Webmasterforums.biz!
</marquee>

Marquee works in most current browsers, but is not officially supported by the W3C and will not make your site XHTML 1.0 compliant.

Why?

I used to love using Marquees when I was younger and was a beginner in coding sites and such. I used it on almost every site I built until it started bugging me out because it was simply getting annoying.

Thanks for sharing this guide, a very easy to understand guide for people who have just started studying general HTML and such.

I actually don't like using marquees, i think they are boring and just annoy me, but thiers plugins for that around somewhere for you to use.

You're right, they are annoying and pretty boring compared to the other things you could actually do with web-pages. Why would you need a plugin to do something in which you could actually generate the code yourself? That's like saying you don't use WYSIWYG Programs to build your websites but you build your site with an online site-builder anyways.
