Beginner Question about Font Attributes

[JasonKing]

Hello Everyone!

I am a complete nab at javascript and need some help on a nice scrolling text script i have found.

Its called Cross Browser marquee at

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex2/cmarquee.htm

In this line of code: var marqueecontent='<nobr><font="verdana">Dont Forget To Bookmark Us </font>

I need the scrolling text in this format:

{
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #FF0000;
}

Thanks for your help!

var marqueecontent='<nobr><font="verdana">Dont Forget To Bookmark Us </font>

the <font> tag has been depreciated, but you can use something like

var marqueecontent='<nobr><span class="heading">Dont Forget To Bookmark Us</span></nobr>';

span.heading {
     font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
     font-size: 14px;
     font-weight: bold;
     color: #FF0000;
}

I didnt realize you were looking to use a link instead of just regular text. just replace the span with an achor tag

var marqueecontent='<nobr><span class="heading">Dont Forget To Bookmark Us</span></nobr>';

span.heading {
     font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
     font-size: 14px;
     font-weight: bold;
     color: #FF0000;
}

var marqueecontent='<nobr><a href="somewhere.html" class="heading>Link</a></nobr>';

a.heading:link, a.heading:visited, a.heading:hover, a.heading:active {
     font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
     font-size: 14px;
     font-weight: bold;
     color: #f00;
}

and you can make a specific style for each of the anchor pseudo selectors, by just taking them out of that list and create their own style with whatever changes to the original. but you should follow convention of
link
visited
hover
active
or LoVe HAte those links
