    Question Marquee - Location change

    I have succesfully placed the following marquee in my web page but it is anchored to the left of the page. I would like it to start at 230px in from the left edge but cannot work out the code adjustments required to effect this. Can anyone give advice please. Many thanks for any help.

    <script language="JavaScript1.2">

    //Specify the marquee's width (in pixels)
    var marqueewidth="300px"
    //Specify the marquee's height
    var marqueeheight="25px"
    //Specify the marquee's marquee speed (larger is faster 1-10)
    var marqueespeed=2
    //configure background color:
    var marqueebgcolor="#DEFDD9"
    //Pause marquee onMousever (0=no. 1=yes)?
    var pauseit=1

    //Specify the marquee's content (don't delete <nobr> tag)
    //Keep all content on ONE line, and backslash any single quotations (ie: that\'s great):

    var marqueecontent='<nobr><font face="Arial">Thank you for visiting <a href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com">Dynamic Drive.</a> If you find this script useful, please consider linking to us by <a href="../link.htm">click here.</a> Enjoy your stay!</font></nobr>'

    Find this line in the script:

    Code:
    document.write('<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><td>')
    Make it like so:

    Code:
    document.write('<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="position:relative;left:230px;"><td>')

    Many thanks for the above, I'm learning HTML and JavaScript code, but still at an early stage. Do you have any recommendations as to where I can find a good free tutorial?
