<MARQUEE> and </MARQUEE>

Description:

The <MARQUEE> tag defines a moving section of text, in a manner similar to a movie marquee. This tag is supported by Internet Explorer only (In Netscape the text will not move.)

Marquee only works with text - images between the <marquee> and </marquee> are ignored.

Since this tag does not work in Netscape, you should take care to examine the resultant page carefully in both Internet Explorer and Netscape to be sure it looks okay.
