does anyone know how to make a marquee effect using css
cbg where are you

CannonBallGuy

Pass. :P

marquee efect? isnt that like marching ants in graphics programs (sorry if i'm being dense). Its a border style:
In any browser other than IE use

#randomDiv {
  border: 1px dashed #000;
}

IN IE use

#randomDiv {
  border: 1px dotted #000;
}

I suggest using conditional comments to achieve this effect across all browsers

Hope that helps

A marquee is moving text...

As far as I know its not a good idea to use one...
And also that you can't do it in CSS either...

strangedar

Ah I see...

...feel kinda dumb now...

Ya its not doable in CSS and its deprecated(sp?) in xhtml.

If you want I can tell you how to do it using JavaScript...

why don't you just 'show' it then...

strangedar

actually I just found this: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex2/cmarquee.htm
Now I dont need to type up any JavaScript..

strangedar

I'll try and modify it later so it can do the bouncing marquee. No promises though..

CannonBallGuy

Why bouncing? I am sure he can just use the code on that page and edit the variables...

strangedar

have no idea why anyone would want bouncing but the <marquee> tag has an option for it so I thought it would be nice if there was an option to do it with that as well. Only trying to be helpful

CannonBallGuy

LOL. Okay...
