    Marqees--3 questions

    Hi, my Vodahost domain is www.jhwm.net. There does not seem to be a tutorial about marquees, and the only one other question I see in this forum about them didn't address the below, so here goes:

    I'm designing a page and have inserted a horizontal, text-only marquee. In the Marquee Properties dialog, under "Repeat," I've checked "Continuously." Under "Movement Speed" I have the delay set to 90 and amount set to 6. Under "Behavior" I've selected slide. My questions are:

    1) When I preview this page, the marquee does NOT repeat--it plays once and stops. Is that because it's just a preview and not "live"?
    2) I'm not sure I understand exactly what the "delay" and "amount" controls do--please clarify.
    3) What is the difference between "scroll" and "slide"? My guess is that "slide" has a smoother-looking movement but . . . I don't know.

    thanks,
    Jim

    Jim,

    Im not sure of all the properties, but I see it on your page and it continues for at least 5 minutes. The delay usually controls the speed-you answered yourself there, and scroll versus slide, in scroll it disappears of the page and slide it eventually stops and starts over rather than rolling up like a SCROLL, and I imagine thats why it stops in preview rather than continues on.

    Microsoft probably has tutorials on Marquees under FRONT PAGE!

    By the way.. I think your site would look better centered!

      Karen, thanks for your reply. The page I was talking about is not on my jhwm.net web site (it's a page I haven't published yet, and won't be on that site). But you were right: If you want the message to repeat, you have to select scroll, not slide. I made the change and now it repeats! Thanks again.
