scrolling marque fine on explorer off center on firefox. why?

[Guest]

Anyone have an idea how I can make the scrolling marque in my website using
FrontPage look the same on others Firefox browsers as it does on my Explorer
browser?

Some features, like the marquee, are IE Only. If you want it to appear on
other browsers then you'll need to use something else, such as JavaScript.
Try the examples at http://javascript.internet.com/text-effects/

Look again. <marquee> is supported in FF....

This is what the code is that I have for the Marque:
<p align="center">
<marquee style="font-family: Amazone BT; font-size: 24pt; color: #800080;
font-weight: bold" width="427">Make Joyce Your First Choice!</marquee></p>
<p align="center">
I don't know anything about JavaScript. I have no idea of how any of this
works, that's why I'm using FrontPage. I'm happy with how things look on
Internet Explorer, it just bugs me it comes out way left of center on firefox.

Hi,
Try replacing the <p with <div eg
<div align="center">
<marquee style="font-family: Amazone BT; font-size: 24pt; color: #800080;
font-weight: bold" width="427">Make Joyce Your First Choice!</marquee>
</div>

Sorry. I don't use FF. So what would be causing the problem then?
Personally I think the marquee tag is annoying.

Although there are a lot of things you can do with just FrontPage, if you
ant to start adding fancy features to your sites then you'll eventually want
to look into things like JavaScript, CSS, DHTML etc.

For the JavaScript, just switch to Code View and copy and paste the scripts
from the site I gave you into the code (it tells your where). You'll get
better control using this than the <marquee> tag.

I tried the code you gave me Jon, didn’t work, it made a mess of it.

I don’t consider the marquee I am using a fancy feature, it is one of the
FrontPage tools listed and does work very well in Internet Explorer. It just
seems strange to me that it shows up left of center on firefox. I’ve checked
the link you gave me and as they say, “it’s all Greek to me.†I think I will
just let well enough alone. Thank you all for your advice.

P.S. Dave, I don’t know what the problem is. As far as it being annoying,
the website is plain and easy to read. With the marquee being quit simple.
Take a look and let me know what you think. www.make-joyce-your-choice.com/

I’m just an old coot trying to help by setting her site up and making
whatever changes come along.

If you like it that's fine. I personally find it distracting. Also, check
it in other browsers because not all of them support the marquee tag, Ex:
Netscape.

This is starting to become a joke! Did you read my original question? If you
didn’t, here it is:

Note: "FrontPage" and "Firefox"

 

[David Berry]

I read the original post. Why does my reply make you think it's a joke?
You have your answer on how to change it for IE and Firefox but not everyone
uses those browsers. All I was trying to do was to let you know that the
marquee tag is a problem for other people using browsers other than IE and
Firefox. Most web developers are concerned with cross-browser
compatibility. If you're not concerned with that then ignore the replies
and forgive me for trying to help.

Netscape 7 supports it.

Netscape 6 hasn't been seen in the wild in years.

Netscape 4 isn't worth considering.

Netscape 3 doesn't support it.

BINGO!

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

NS 6 supports it.

My bad on the NS reference. I was trying to get across the point on
cross-browser compatibility and picked a poor choice.
