No space.........

I have the below coding for a scrolling marquee on my website. Is there anyway I can make it so that once the text has been displayed, that there's no big gap before the text starts scrolling again???

Thanks in advance for any assistance you may give. :):):)

$about = '<marquee direction="left" loop="true" scrollamount="6" style="width: 100%; background-color: #74cbc8; line-height:40px; height:40px; ">BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH <a></marquee>';

Odd use of the marquee tag (assigned as what looks like either a PHP or jQuery variable. In either case, no. There's virtually no way to get rid of that gap while still using the marquee tag. I suggest a javascript approach (there are many) but I will offer one I authored and that's available for free from the main Dynamic Drive library:

If you need any help with it, feel free to ask.

There are simpler text only marquee type scripts available here and elsewhere. But generally folks really like crawler. In any case, if my initial suggestion proves too daunting (don't feel bad, it isn't quite a beginner level script, though close), let me know, I can make other suggestions.
