try just dividing the sentence in half and putting in on 2 different lines both with the <marquee> flag.
You can do a marquee with a different size and color font.
You can even add a colored background.
Here's the tags to do this with:
<HTML>
<FONT COLOR="DARKBLUE" SIZE="6">
<MARQUEE BGCOLOR="ORANGE">
This is really groovy!
</MARQUEE>
</FONT>
</HTML>
Speed :
<HTML>
<FONT COLOR="GREEN" SIZE="6">
<MARQUEE SCROLLAMOUNT="1">
This is scrollamount="1"
</MARQUEE>
</FONT>
</HTML>
Here's how to control the distance the marquee will travel across the screen.
<HTML>
<FONT COLOR="GREEN" SIZE="6">
<MARQUEE WIDTH="50%">
This is 50%
</MARQUEE>
</FONT>
</HTML>
You can control marquee behavior. This is how to do alternate behavior.
<HTML>
<FONT COLOR="DARKSLATEGRAY" SIZE="6">
<MARQUEE BEHAVIOR="ALTERNATE">
This is alternate behavior.
<MARQUEE>
</FONT>
</HTML>
or change directions?
Let's do it like this:
<HTML>
<FONT COLOR="GREEN" SIZE="6">
<MARQUEE DIRECTION="RIGHT">
This is direction right.
</MARQUEE>
</FONT>
</HTML>
There is also a behavior slide?
<HTML>
<FONT COLOR="PURPLE" SIZE="6">
<MARQUEE BEHAVIOR="SLIDE">
This is behavior slide.
</MARQUEE>
</FONT>
</HTML>
To change it's direction to right, edit the line to :
<MARQUEE BEHAVIOR="SLIDE" DIRECTION="RIGHT">
See ya,

Since when, exactly? Funny I cannot see them on the W3C's list of HTML 4.01 elements here?Quote:

MARQUEE is, to the best of my knowledge, TOTALLY Microsoft IE Specific, not supported by any other browser, and a complete waste of time as it's entirely tasteless and makes sites look hideous.
So in answer to the OP: Just don't use them, they will make IE users vomit at how hideous your site looks, and have no effect on anyone else.
