| To invoke |
- Set the LOOP attribute to 1 or higher.
- Omit the LOOP attribute so that the MARQUEE loops indefinitely.
|
| Default action |
Initiates the next loop of the MARQUEE contents. |
The start method does not cause the onstart event to fire.
While event handlers in the Document Object Model do not receive parameters directly, the handler can query the event object for data.
