Lost decenders in a marquee

[robinski]

I am using a marquee to produce a moving message:

<FONT color= Navy size="4" valign="middle"  height="100"> <MARQUEE bgcolor= "#FFFFCC" direction="left" loop="20" width="100%" height="20" SCROLLAMOUNT=3>......MESSAGE        </MARQUEE>

and the descenders are missing. How do I recover them? The page is here:

Many thanks,

Hey robinski and welcome to the city where we've worked hard over the years to avoid a descent in chaos.

The problem with that code seems to be present only in the Insufferable Encumbrance. I found a couple of documents that discuss this issue (the top two returns in this search), but they didn't help mme much.

As a hack coder, I'd suggest something like this:

<FONT color= Navy size="4" valign="middle" height="100"> <MARQUEE bgcolor= "#FFFFCC" direction="left" loop="20" width="100%" height="25" SCROLLAMOUNT=3>......MESSAGE </MARQUEE>

Hi,

Haven't played with it, but offhand I would say your box is too small (20) for the type size (4), especially with vertical alignment (valign). Try "height=30" and work your way up or down from there until you get what you want.

Hope this helps.
