Is there a way to code on a site builder ( www.webnow.com ) to enable functionality of scrolling text between ISP's for example. Here is my situation; I have created a website for my mothers boyfriend and it has a scrolling marquee. The problem I noticed is that the scolling text is "froze" using Netscape, but works with IE 6 and AOL. Any thoughts?:? And by the way I only know a little HTML.

Check out the site in question - www.webnow.com/awbw

The problem is that he is using a <MARQUEE> tag and it is not supported in Netscape.

Look around for a Java Applet to do the scrolling, then it should work in all (most?) browsers.

:grr: Well I will have to try and find something that will work. In the meantime should I put something on the site such as "best if viewed with IE"

Thanks for your help

you could also probably do it with javascript or dhtml, just search around the web, it shouldn't be too hard to find.

The MARQUEE tag is no longer acceptable HTML code, by the way ... not for the last few years. Check out the W3C specs at www.w3.org
