Thread: Lost decenders in a marquee

    Lost decenders in a marquee

    I am using a marquee to produce a moving message:

    HTML Code:
    <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,

    Robin Chapple

    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:
    Code:
    <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.
