How to Apply Scrolling Text in Web Pages

Print this article

Adding scrolling text to a web page is possible through the use of the HTML element "Marquee." Several attributes can be applied to "Marquee" in order to style the scrolling text, including the speed of and direction of the scroll. The "Marquee" element has been rendered obsolete by the World Wide Web Consortium (WC3), the organization that develops web standards. However, most modern web browsers still support "Marquee."

Instructions

Instructions
- 1
  
  Open the web page in which you'd like the scrolling text to appear, using either a web design program such as Adobe Dreamweaver or a text editor such as Notepad.
- 2
  
  Type or paste the text that you'd like to make scroll in the desired location in the web page's code.
- 3
  
  Type <Marquee> immediately before the first character that should scroll.
- 4
  
  Type </Marquee> immediately after the last character that should scroll.
- 5
  
  Define how the text should scroll by adding any number of compatible attributes to the "Marquee" tag. By default, scrolling text will take up the full width of the available screen area, and will scroll horizontally across the screen from right to left. Replace "X" with your desired values (in pixels) and place each attribute inside the <Marquee> tag, as in the example below:
  <Marquee WIDTH=X HEIGHT=X DIRECTION=X SCROLLDELAY=X BGCOLOR=X>Scrolling text...</Marquee>
  Width: Controls how wide the scrolling area is, stated in pixels.
  Height: Controls how tall the scrolling area is, stated in pixels.
  Direction: Controls which ways the text scrolls (either LEFT or RIGHT)
  Scroll delay: Control how much time there is before the scrolling text repeats and scrolls again. State this in milliseconds (1000 = 1 second).
  BG color: Defines the color of the scrolling area, stated in 6-character HEX code.

  Save the updated file. Upload it to your web host or web server, replacing the the existing file.

Experience Microsoft Windows Phone 7 on Android//iOS Devices

Experience Microsoft Windows Phone 7 on Android//iOS Devices and Safari Desktop Browser

Posted: 29 Nov 2011 11:47 AM PST

While reading through the pages of Engadget.com, I stumbled on a post about Microsoft enabling Android and iOS users to experience Windows Phone 7 on the web and I decided to share with you. It is just a demo to see how to connect and share using Windows Phone 7. You will only be able to view the demo on an Android or iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch).

I gave it a test run on my iPad and the demo worked perfectly though I don't really like the UI (User interface). Viewing the demo makes the web page looks like a Windows Phone emulator.

How To View Windows Phone Demo on Android or iOS device

Go to www.bit.ly/demowp7 using your Android or iOS browser

Once inside the demo, tap any tile to begin and follow the blue dot.

Make sure you flip the demo vertically.

How To View Windows Phone Demo on a Desktop Browser.

The demo is not supported on a desktop browser but I viewed it on my Safari desktop browser by setting "Safari Mobile' as UserAgent in the Developer Tools pane.

To set "Safari Mobile" as User agent, launch your Safari Browser, go to Safari preferences, click Advanced, then select "Show Develop menu in menu bar" as shown in the picture below:

Selecting the option adds a Develop menu to your menu bar. From the menu bar, click on the "Developer" tab, select "User agent" and then select any of the Safari for iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch options.

Right inside the address bar, enter www.bit.ly/demowp7

You should see the demo if you followed the steps above carefully.

Remember, if you open the demo link above in a browser not supported by the demo, you will see a "NOT SUPPORTED" page.
