---

Sets or retrieves how many times a MARQUEE will loop when activated.

Inline	<marquee loop = iLoop...>
Script	object.loop = iLoop ]

iLoop

Positive integer value specifying the number of loops or -1, which causes the MARQUEE to infinitely loop.

The property is read/write with a default value of -1.

If applied to the MARQUEE object, the property specifies how many times the content should loop. If set to -1, it will loop continuously.

Following are descriptions of how loop works for some boundary cases.

<BGSOUND src="chimes.wav">	loops one time
<BGSOUND src="chimes.wav" loop>	loops one time
<BGSOUND src="chimes.wav" loop=>	loops zero times
<BGSOUND src="chimes.wav" loop=-1>	loops infinitely
<BGSOUND src="chimes.wav" loop=0>	invalid value error

Internet Explorer^® provides an additional loopdelay attribute for video clips, to set a delay between playbacks. This attribute specifies the delay time in milliseconds.
