Sets or retrieves whether the position of the marquee is calculated using the scrollDelay and scrollAmount properties and the actual time elapsed from the last clock tick.

marquee.trueSpeed = bSpeed ] |
| false |
The marquee computes movement based on 60-millisecond ticks of the clock. This means every scrollDelay value under 60 is ignored, and the marquee advances the amount of scrollAmount each 60 milliseconds. For example, if scrollDelay is 6 and scrollAmount is 10, the marquee advances 10 pixels every 60 milliseconds. |
| true |
The marquee advances the pixel value of scrollAmount per the number of milliseconds set for scrollDelay. For example, the marquee would advance 10 pixels for every 6 milliseconds if scrollDelay is 6, scrollAmount is 10, and the value of trueSpeed is true. |
This property returns or accepts only a boolean value, meaning true if set, and false if not. The property is read/write with a default value of false.
When present, the HTML attribute indicates that the exact scroll delay value specified is used to move the marquee text. Without this attribute, all scroll delay values of 59 or less are rounded to 60 milliseconds.
