Attributes for <MARQUEE ...>
WIDTH = "width expression"
HEIGHT = integer

WIDTH and HEIGHT set the dimensions of the marquee. This code creates a marquee that is 200 wide and 50 tall: 

<MARQUEE WIDTH=200 HEIGHT=50>
Howdy!
</MARQUEE>

Howdy!

Neither attribute is required. The default value for WIDTH is 100%. The height defaults to the natural height of content as it appears in the width. So, for example, this markup creates a marquee that is 200 wide and as tall as it needs to be: 

<MARQUEE WIDTH=200>
Happy Halloween!<BR>
<IMG SRC="graphics/pumpkin.gif" HEIGHT=100 WIDTH=100 ALT="picture of a pumpkin">
</MARQUEE>

Happy Halloween!
