Marquee Text

[Silverman]

I've got some marquee text scrolling an RSS feed from the BBC, it has scrolling hyperlinks in the RSS feed

My question is, is it possible to add some code so when you hover over the hyperlink in the marquee the marquee stops scrolling, and then when you move off of the link it starts scrolling again?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Silv.

<marquee scrollamount=3 onmouseover="this.stop()" onmouseout="this.start()">This is my friggin awesome Marquee</marquee>

works in IE not sure about FF.

Might be worth noting that if your using xhtml a marquee tag will invalidate you page as it's not a supported tag (The marquee Element - scrolling marquee). Javascript with css might be a better way to do this.

I didn't know that. I'll use the above code currently, but look into Javascript - It's on my list to learn.

Do you know of any good books/websites for a beginner in Javascript?

Thanks for the help.

about.com actually provide a javascript example (I don't know if it is standards compatible) here: Cross Browser Ticker/Marquee Example

Beginners javascript website you can't go wrong with w3schools - JavaScript Tutorial

As for books anything by O'reilly I've generally found to be very good.

Awesome, thank you!

I will be taking note on the w3schools website. Looks like a good learning centre for me to spend many hours pulling my hair over!

Thanks again,
