HTML n00b question

What's html code to make a marquee thing scroll across the screen?

[BurstStudio]

<marquee>are you that stupid?</marquee>

Come on. Ever heard of Google?

I agree, they seem to not know of a single search engine.

Oh my God, first attempt and first link shows us exactly how to do it!

How do you expect to learn if you are not willing to read? http://www.htmlgoodies.com/primers/html/
There's an exact link to a few beginners tutorials on html. Everything is watered down, and very easy to understand.

Come on, the guy just wants to know the code, isn't it easier to give it to him then making him search on google?

Well anyway, here's the code:

<marquee>TEXT GOES HERE</marquee>

Well, it is similar to transitions over time in PHP as well. This is an easy way to explain it, if you know a little about PHP. For example, in the first release in which this information was available, here is how you would access a user's IP address:
$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REMOTE_ADDR'];

In a later version it was shortened to:
$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

And now, you can use:
$REMOTE_ADDR;

But of course, you can still see its origin. Similar to the case with the <div> tags and the <center> tag. Now, the <div> tags are actually supported with HTML, I do not believe the <center> tag is. However, I'm not an HTML expert, not on the origin and classification of tags anyway.

I would always use <div> tags just for originality and readability purposes.
