I'm NEW to HTML & I wanna do something SO simple but it's not working so does anybody wanna look at my code & see what i'm doing wrong??

Basically, i'm putting a one line SENTENCE in a marquee but the marquee is going too fast for my liking. I've tried to slow it down but its not slowing down for me!!

Here's the code i'm using

TESTING One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Nine, Ten, Eleven, Twelve!Hmm I didn't even know there was a marquee tag. I'd use JavaScript (there are many free examples of code). In any case, have you tried a SPEED=X?I managed to sort it, found a website with tutorials that showed me how to do it differently to what i'd seen on other sites! I put scrolldelay="500" and that slowed it way down.

I'm only just getting to know HTML so i don't even wanna look at javascript yet, it looks so hard! Thanks JoleenJoleen, the marquee tag was a valid HTML tag. It has been depreciated from the W3C spec's since VERSION 4.01, I believe. It's just down to the browser programmers to decide whether or not they still wish to support it.

Laura, Javascript isn't all that hard really. Evil/annoying at TIMES (mouse trails/pop-ups, for example), but not hard. Generally, I just copy and paste code from various sources, editing them if needed - I don't think I've ever created a Javascript completely from scratch but hey, professional programmers rarely do either...

But I digress. If you are interested, Webmonkey have a neat tutorial on how to, ahem, "BORROW" Javascript from other sites and edit them as necessary.

Check out the rest of Webmonkey too: I partly learned HTML from it. Thanks Corrosive, i might just take a look at it & take up javascript as a hobbie According to MS FrontPage, other HTML commands are scrollamount="xx" and scrolldelay="xx".

It works, I tried it.Quote

...Could it have been beacuse i had a space between the words "scroll" and "amount"?? ...
