Do you mean moving text, like a marquee, or ticker tape? One line, multiple lines? Horizontal, vertical? Left, right, up , down?

[2_russian]

just side to side.. kind of like what you can do in java soo that your site description scrolls at the botom in the status bar area..... but i need it with just html not sure how.....

[ronaldb66]

AFAIK, this cannot be done with pure HTML; you'll need Javascript to access such properties. By the way: tinkering with the status bar is usually regarded as highly annoying; thought I just mention it.
You may be referring to the IE-proprietary element <marquee>, but since it's not supported by any other browsers and is not in any HTML standard, nor will it ever be, I strongly recommend against using it.

Hmmm well apperantlly you can lol

someone said that would work and it does:
<marquee>text here</marquee>

(in the forum im always on anyways....)

ronaldb66: damn sorry man didnt read ur entire post lol

BTW: ive never heard of that command b4 "marquee" is it used for anything "USEFULL"..........

also not only is the marquee tag slimly supported but you have to control it with javascript/css or something non-html.

there are alot of defining/formatting attributes that come along with the marquee element.
behavior, direction, loop, scrolldelay, scrollamount, truespeed

but the more complex you want, yes it requires scripting.

marquee is a pain, its IE only i think. + its ugly. alhough you can control it easily with javascript. why not habe a really big text box in a form wich take off the first letter of your string to give the scrolling effect. that what id do, but then i would have to code it :p
