scrolling marquee/text with stationary background

[Guest]

I'd like to have text scroll or slide onto the web page (from the right) over
top of a stationary image. I only want it to slide in once and stop. I
thought I'd create a marquee except I don't see how I can make an image be
the background while the text background remains transparent. Any
suggestions?

You don't use an image; you would use the marquee tag like this:

<marquee>this is the text</marquee>.

Note, this tag is pretty much outdated - IE supports it, I don't know about
the other browsers.

You can probably do the same sort of thing with javascript - and use an
image that slides left to right or whatever you require.

Search "marquee javascripts" in Google.

It is supported by NS6 and up.

Hi,

To accomplish you'll need to use CSS, a Div tag and a little JavaScript.

To set the background of the div use the following CSS property:

background: url('images/addesign.gif');

replacing the image location with your own.

To scroll the text, you need to have a JavaScript that will write to the div over some interval.
