CREATING A MARQUEE

On a web page a Marquee is a piece of text that move across the screen. In most cases it normally appears at the top of the screen but this does not always have to be the case. It can be placed anywhere on a web page that you would like to display some moving text. Now if you have already read some of the other parts of this tutorial you would have noticed that in order to create an action via html we need to have some html tags. As a result of this the same rule applies to creating a Marquee.

So in order to create a marquee we would need to follow these steps:

1) Create an opening marquee tag. To do this we need to insert the word marquee between two angle brackets like the example below.

<marquee>

2) Once we have created an opening tag we then have to type in the text that would like to see appear continuous across the screen. For this example we will use the following line of text So Solid Crew.

When we add this line of text to the opening tag our html code should now look like the example below.

<marquee>So Solid Crew

3) To finish our html code and to make the marquee work we will need to create a closing tag. To do this we would insert a forward slash followed by the word marquee between two angle brackets like the example below.

</marquee>

When this closing tag is added to the html that has already been created our finish code should now look like the example below. (If you look at the bottom of this page we have created the final code so you can see how it would look.)

<marquee>So Solid Crew</marquee>

If this is not the case we suggest you go through steps 1 to 3 again and see what you might have missed out
