    Note:  If you want to make the links scrolling replace the text with appropriate links.

    Command Syntax:

    <MARQUEE command parameters>
      some scrolling text
    </MARQUEE>

    The command generates a scrolling marquee using the parameters provided.  At present, the command works only in the Internet Explorer browser.

    Command Parameters:
    align="top | middle | bottom"

    Defines alignment of ordinary text placed near the marquee where:

    • top -
      aligns surrounding text to the top of the marquee boundary.

    • middle -
      aligns surrounding text to the middle of the marquee boundaries.

    • bottom -
      aligns surrounding text to the bottom of the marquee boundary.

    behavior="alternate | scroll | slide"

    Defines way in which text within the marquee will display where:

    • alternate -
      text appears to move from side to side within the boundaries of the marquee.

    • scroll -
      text begins off screen and scrolls toward the opposite side until it disappears off screen again before repeating.

    • slide -
      text moves in from off screen, moves toward the opposite boundary of the marquee, and stops when it encounters the boundary.

    bgcolor="named color | color value"

    Defines the background color used within the marquee.  Background color can be expressed either as a named color or as a hexadecimal color value.

    direction="left | right"

    Determines the initial direction in which the marquee text will move.

    		height|width="% | pixels"

    Determine the height and/or width of the marquee either in pixels or as a percent of the space available for display, respectively.

    hspace|vspace="pixels"

    Determine the horizontal and/or vertical standoff which surround the marquee and define the amount of white space between the boundaries of the marquee and surrounding normal text, respectively.

    loop="integer | infinite"

    Determines the number of times the text in the marquee will repeat the scrolling action where:

    • -1 -
      the scrolling will continue indefinitely - same as infinite.

    • integer -
      the scrolling will continue until the integer value is reached and then stop.

    • infinite -
      the scrolling will continue indefinitely - same as -1.

    scrollamount="pixels"

    Determines the number of pixels by which each iteration of the scrolling display is incremented.  Smaller values produce slower but smoother scrolling effects.

    scrolldelay="milliseconds"

    Determines the integer number of milliseconds which elapse between successive iterations of the scrolling display.  Smaller numbers produce more rapid scrolling effects.
