Sets or retrieves how the text scrolls in a MARQUEE.

Inline	<MARQUEE behavior = 'scroll' | 'alternate' | 'slide'...>
Script	marquee.behavior = sScroll ]

scroll	The marquee scrolls in the direction specified by the direction property. The text scrolls off the end and starts over.
alternate	The marquee's scroll direction reverses when its content reaches the edge of the container.
slide	The marquee scrolls in the direction specified by the direction attribute. The text scrolls to the end and stops.

The property is read/write with a default value of scroll. The proposed cascading stylesheet ( CSS ) extension attribute is not inherited.

The sample below flies a piece of text down the page using a MARQUEE object.

<marquee loop=1 style="position:absolute;
 top:80; left:40" scrollamount=10 scrolldelay=30 
 behavior="slide" direction="down">
<ul style="font:bold 15pt bookman,times,serif;
 color:lime">
  <li>
  <li>Use Dynamic HTML to differentiate your content 
    and create compelling Web sites</li>
</ul>
</marquee>
