Thread: Link In Marquee

Hello all,

Can the text in the marquee be also a link?

Sally

Hi Sally,

No it can't, however what you could probably do is make a shape the same width and height then click on its properties and change it to 'Transparent' Then put your link within the shape.

Well, yes, it can. Place a marquee in your page. Then, independently, place the text that you want to appear in the marquee, and link it as you like. Right click on the text, select HTML. Copy the code and paste it in place of text in the marquee. Delete the external text and you are done.

Sorry George I didn't realise you could do that.

I still discover new things that can be done, every day.. LOL

Could you explain that a bit more? I placed the text I wanted seperate on the page. Linked it, right clicked, copied HTML and pasted it into my marquee window text box. Saved and published. Although the marquee text changed colour to my Background Link Colour it did't act as a link when the cursor went over it.

Hi, Change to your link & message.

<a href="http://www.website-to-link-to.com">Your text will go here for the scrolling message.</a>

Then place this in the Marquee properties text area.

Just to confirm. I'm linking to another page on my website where exactly do I place the - in the address.

<a href="http://www.website-to-link-to.com">Your text will go here for the scrolling message.</a>

Its scrolling as if its a link but alas its not a link.

Sally, you must be doing something wrong. Please provide a link to the problematic page so we can have a look.

Kinda gave up on that. Another question: How do I leave a space between different messages in the marquee, or can I? I tried with the space bar but to no avail.

Cheers, Sally.

Cheers, Sally.

You could add two marquees and space each marquee box accordingly ...

I can live with that. Thank you.
