Attributes

BEHAVIOR
This attribute controls the movement of marquee text across the marquee. The ALTERNATE option causes text to completely cross the marquee field in one direction and then cross in the opposite direction. A value of SCROLL for the attribute causes text to wrap around and start over again. This is the default value for a marquee. A value of SLIDE for this attribute causes text to cross the marquee field and stop when its leading character reaches the opposite side.

BGCOLOR
This attribute specifies the marquee's background color. The value for the attribute can either be a color name or a color value defined in the hexadecimal #RRGGBB format.

CLASS
This attribute is set to indicate the class or classes that a particular element belongs to. A class name is used by a style sheet to associate style rules to multiple elements at once.

DATAFLD
This attribute is used to indicate the column name in the data source that is bound to the <MARQUEE> element.

DATAFORMATS
This attribute indicates if the bound data is plain text or HTML. The data bound with <MARQUEE> is used to set the message that is scrolled.

DATASRC
The value of this attribute is set to an identifier indicating the data source to pull data from. Bound data is used to set the message that is scrolled in the <MARQUEE>.

DIRECTION
This attribute specifies the direction in which the marquee should scroll. The default is LEFT. Other possible values for DIRECTION include DOWN, RIGHT, and UP.

HEIGHT
This attribute specifies the height of the marquee in pixels or as a percentage of the window.

HSPACE
This attribute indicates the horizontal space in pixels between the marquee and surrounding content.

ID
This attribute specifies a unique alphanumeric identifier to be associated with an element. Naming an element is important to being able to access it with a style sheet, a link, or a scripting language. Names should be unique to a document and should be meaningful.

LANGUAGE
In the Microsoft implementation, this attribute specifies the script language to be used with an associated script bound to the element, typically through an event handler attribute. Possible values may include JAVASCRIPT, JSCRIPT, VBS, and VBSCRIPT. Other values that include the version of the language used, such as Javascript1.1, may also be possible.

LOOP
This attribute indicates the number of times the marquee content should loop. By default, a marquee loops infinitely unless the BEHAVIOR attribute is set to SLIDE. It is also possible to use a value of INFINITE or -1 to set the text to loop indefinitely.

SCROLLAMOUNT
This attribute specifies the width in pixels between successive displays of the scrolling text in the marquee.

SCROLLDELAY
This attribute specifies the delay in milliseconds between successive displays of the text in the marquee.

STYLE
This attribute specifies an inline style associated with the element. The style information is used to determine the rendering of the affected element.

TITLE
This attribute supplies advisory text for the element that may be rendered as a tool tip when the mouse is over the element. A title may also simply provide information that alerts future document maintainers to the meaning of the element and its enclosed content.

TRANSPARENCY
This attribute specifies the marquee's degree of transparency. Values range from 0 (totally opaque) to 100 (totally transparent).

TRUESPEED
When this attribute is present, it indicates that the SCROLLDELAY value should be honored for its exact value. If the attribute is not present, any values less than 60 are rounded up to 60 milliseconds.

VSPACE
This attribute indicates the vertical space in pixels between the marquee and surrounding content.

WIDTH
This attribute soecifies the width of the marquee in pixels or as a percentage of the enclosing window.
