Now we have learned the attributes of marquee, and now let us see some samples of these atttributes when implemented.



  • Example 1 on Marquee


<marquee>TechTrickHome.blogspot.com</marquee>

This example is tested working using no attributes, but then it still moves from right to left using its default direction and behavior attribute.
  • Example 2 on Marquee


<marquee direction="left" scrollamount="5" width="100%">TechTrickHome.blogspot.com</marquee>


TechTrickHome.blogspot.com

This script work as the same effect applied to marquee example 1, defining its attributes. And also remember that this marquee effect can be changed from its direction, its scrollamount speed and etc.
  • Example 3 on Marquee


<marquee direction="right" scrollamount="3" width="100%" behavior="alternate">TechTrickHome.blogspot.com</marquee>


TechTrickHome.blogspot.com


Here in this example we have used one of the behavior attributes making the text to move back and forth.

  • Example 4 on Marquee


<marquee align="center" direction="up" scrollamount="3" scrolldelay="100" width="100%" height="100px" bgcolor="#ffffcc" behavior="scroll">TechTrickHome.blogspot.com</marquee>

This script allows you to align your marquee your objects in the middle, allowing your direction from bottom to up, having a background color with its behavior changed to scroll.
