This is the basic code:

It must begin with <marquee and end with </marquee>

The dimensions of this particular “container” are determined by  height=”30”  and  width=”600”

“ direction= “ can be “left”, “right”, “up” or “down”

Making your text jump from side to side is achieved by adding   behavior="alternate"

The scrolling speed is set by  scrolldelay=”100”    The higher the number - the slower the scroll speed.

To control the number of times your message whizzes across the screen you can add    loop=”6”   and will go 6 times.

Those who know about code tell me to put  - loop=”infinite”  - to keep it going. I just leave it out and it keeps going anyway!

Font size, type and color:    <font size=+2 face="Synchro LET" color=red>

“font size=” can be any number and can also be + or -

“face=” is the name of the font chosen from your font window.

“color=” can be the name of a color or, to be more specific, the hexadecimal color number.

For example, if you have a black page like this and you want a magenta shade like the one below  “ color=#ff33ff ”

There are plenty of web pages around with hexadecimal charts - http://html-color-codes.com/

For a background color add  - bgcolor="yellow"   or, to be more specific -   bgcolor=#ffff00"

For vertical scrolling, use   direction=”up”   but I dare say you can go   direction=”down”    if you really want!

The text in the example is:

Vertical Scrolling<br>

Add another line. <br><br>

Space out the lines<br><br>

Add some more content to this scroller

<br>  creates a return and   <br> <br>   gives a double return to define paragraphs.

I have given my vertical scroller a “background” using a black rectangle with a 1 pt white stroke.

For a background with color fill, gradient fill or photo fill its easiest to create a shape the same size as your scroller container, add stroke and/or shadow and send it to the back using the Arrange menu.

<marquee height="30" width="600" direction="left" scrolldelay="100" <font size=+2 face="Synchro LET" color=red> How do you make this text scroll horizontally?  </marquee>
