Multi-Line Marquee

[Ripper]

One of my students was trying to make a marquee that scrolled lines like the
credits of a movie. We know how to change the direction of the marquee to
up, but when we try to add a line break and then save the page, FrontPage
alters HTML to only include the first line and all the breaks are placed
after the marquee.

Any tips on how to achieve our goal?

Rip,

You would be better off to use a java script scroller rather than the Marquee.

Here is a vertical scroller that may work for you:

you can't do it from Frontpage without a third party javascript search google for
"vertical scroller"

try www.hotscripts.com or www.javascript.internet.com for a suitable script.

Try fading messages on http://extrafrontpage.com free addon.

any js site will have them as well .. choose one that is cross browser
compatible ... up is always better than left or right ... looks much more
classy.
