The Method I've used is putting it in a <DIV ID="doofus"> tag


then, in javascript you can set

document.all['doofus'].style.top = document.all['doofus'].style.top + 4
(I dunno for Nutscrape)


in a function, and give the function a timeout of say, 100.


for left to right you'd use

.style.left
yadda yadda.



um... hope that helped?????

Hi,

document.all and the <marque> tag only work in Internet Explorer. Use document.getElementByID instead of document.all and take a look here for some cross-browser marques...
