Scrolling Marquee

I tried it with the insert plugins/productivity/html buttonson my wiki but is did not scroll.  The text appppeared but it did not scroll.  did I do something wrong?

Sorry, it was the insert plugins/pbworksmagic/html buttons

It worked!  It worked!  This is so way cool!  Thank you, Thank you,Thank you! NOt to appear to insatiable....how can I change the font and make it bigger?
ok, A little more sober now. Here is a link to my sandbox where I got it to work, when I tried it I got a poopup button that said "Allow JavaScript and other potentially unsafe code "  When I clicked on it the scrolling happened but when I went to my homework for week 2 and tried to do the same thing, the "potentially dangerous" part did not come up and the scrolling didn't happen.   What did I do wrong the 2nd time?

works a treat! thanks

Last week I asked if anyone knew how to embed html attributes for scrolling marqee. Well, I found it. Below is an example:Here is the code to add a simple scrolling text from right to left side with background color
<marquee bgcolor="#99CCFF">code to simple scrolling text</marquee>
I challenge you to try this but the text "code to simple scrolling text" with your own textmessage.

Thanks, I looked for one but couldn't find one which worked. I couldn't make this work on my summer camp page but on my own space the java box could be clicked. It is fun!

Thank  you. I struggled with this until I realized I hadn't clicked on the java script box. However, when I looked at the source code in my wiki, I noticed that wiki strips the marquee tag out. I wonder why!

This camp has provided me so many ideas!

As the administrator of your site, you can choose to allow Java Script and other potentially unsafe code.  However, as a writer on the Summer Camp site, you do not have that option.  So you didn't do anything wrong the 2nd time...you were just in the role of a student rather than a teacher.  Something to remember when asking students to add to your class wiki.  There may be times that you have to embed items for them.  Hope this helps.

Oh, now I see...Thanks for the reply, Angela, you and all the mentors are doing a wonderful job.

This is very cool.  I, too, would like to know how to change colors, fonts, and font size.  Please enlighten!!!! :)

Here is a chart with some HTML color codes (http://html-color-codes.info/).  It is pretty easy to change. 

• Click "edit"
• Right click on the green java script box and choose "edit this plugin."
• Change the six-digit code that comes after marquee bgcolor="#.
• Click 'preview' and then 'ok.'

Size and font could be slightly more difficult if you have never used HTML code.  Here is one site you could look at -  http://www.tnellen.com/school/basic.html#font.  Someone else might have a better site or know how to explain it clearly.  (You put something like:  <font size = 5> before your text and </font> after your text.)

Hope this is not too confusing.  I just know the basics of HTML.

NOTE:  If you want to use a standard color like yellow, just write 'yellow' instead of the code.

Sorry if I was a little unclear. The font instructions I gave were for font size.  The site I gave also tells you how to choose the actual font.  It is relatively easy.

Thanks to all those who tried and made suggestions for this scrolling marque. I did get it to work on my own wiki, enabling the java, and it looks so cool!

I cannot get it to work (like others on this list).  I read about enabling the java, where would that be?

Only administrators can enable java scrip on the wiki.  If you're the administrator, click insert plugin and chose 'HTML/Gadgets'.  From there chose HTML/Java scrip and make sure to check the box that says "Allow JavaScript and other potentially unsafe code"
