Marquee

[michael]

Hi, I am hoping that someone can help me here. I am
trying to insert a marquee, however when I try to do this
the marquee is not a selectable source. When you
highlight other sources and double click it, it creates
that source. If there is anyone who can help with this I
would deeply appreciate it.
Thank you,
Michael

FrontPage makes features that don't match the compatibility settings gray or
unavailable. By default, FP is set to Internet Explorer and Netscape
Navigator compatibility. The marquee is an IE only tag so Netscape Navigator
(or other browser) users actually don't see anything moving, but instead see
a long line of text. You can change the page compatibility to IE only
through the Tools | Page Options | Compatibility (or Authoring in FP 2003).
Beware though, this will enable other features that may not look good or
work in other browsers. You may have better luck though using javascripts.
Youc an search for marquee javascripts at javascript.internet.com and
www.dynamicdrive.com. The javascript marquees often have more features and
better compatibility (and appearance too).

Hope this helps,
