Creates a scrolling text marquee.

HTML Syntax

<marquee
   behavior = alternate | scroll | slide
   bgcolor = color
   class = classname
   datafld = colname
   dataformatas = html | text
   datasrc = #id
   dir = ltr | rtl
   direction = down | left | right | up
   height = n
   hspace = n
   id = value
   loop = n
   scrollamount = n
   scrolldelay = milliseconds
   style = css properties
   title = text
   truespeed
   vspace = n
   width = n
   event = script

The width of the MARQUEE object defaults to 100 percent. When a MARQUEE is in a TD that does not specify a width, you should explicitly set the width of MARQUEE. If neither the MARQUEE nor the TD has a width specified, the marquee will be collapsed to a 1-pixel width.

When a MARQUEE object is scrolling vertically its scrollLeft property is set to zero, and when it is scrolling horizonally, its scrollTop property is set to zero, overriding any script setting.

MARQUEE Members

The MARQUEE in this example will scroll from left to right across the screen. It will move 10 pixels every 100 milliseconds.
