In the future, it might be an idea to link to Lissa's tutorials.

In addition, HyperGurl often leads newcomer sin the wrong direction in terms of neatness, effectiveness, and taking advantage of new technologies.

And she steals stuff word for word from Lissa and lots of other people:

Try this One
<MARQUEE DIRECTION=LEFT>Your Text Here</marquee>

and this one stops when you move your mouse over it
<marquee direction="left" scrollamount="1" height=120 width=230 onmouseover='this.stop()' onmouseout='this.start()'> Put whatever you want in here and as much as you want.</marquee>

Just change the scrollamount which is the speed to what ever you want as well as the height and width any problems just ask

Yes you can change colors for example
<MARQUEE DIRECTION=LEFT><font size="4" color="#FFFFFF">Your Text Here As much as you want</font></marquee>
Change the size and color to what you want

************************************
To change your background, color I am assuming you mean not by using CSS. Put this in the body tag
Example
<body bgcolor="#000000">
Just change the numbers to what you want. in the marquee code the #FFFFFF is white
In the Body background the #000000 is black.
Hope that helps.:)

The code examples that Pretender has provided, while working, are deprecated, invalid code examples. To use a marquee, I suggest using a jQuery plugin like The Silky Smooth Marquee (http://remysharp.com/2008/09/10/the-silky-smooth-marquee/).

Changing the color and background is basic CSS.

<style type="text/css">

/* Change the page background */
body
{
background: #000000;
}

/* Class for colored text */
.colored
{
color: #ffffff;
font-size: 12pt;
}

</style>

Make it a habit to run your site periodically through the W3C Validation Service (http://validator.w3.org/).

Here's a list of safe color codes to use for your background.

Lissa happens to have one of those (http://www.lissaexplains.com/color.shtml), too.

It might be better to accomplish this with JavaScript? Some friends at another forum helped me modify a JavaScript I read about to scroll where I needed it. It's not exactly what you're looking for, and I still don't fully understand the code myself, but perhaps you could modify for your needs? I can show it to you, if you like.

Thanks for sharing:
