UKBL ~ Forum Marquee/Scroller with Pictures

Want a different kind of Scroller/Marquee for your Site, With changable gradients and Font Colours/Type/Size.

LIVE DEMO: http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/Scroller.htm

This is so easy to add to your forum. First we start with the images

just upload the images to your forums images/misc folder

To change the gradient, just make up a 50px by 100px box and add a gradient of your choice, i made mine in Paint.net, but you can use photoshop or gimp.

Next comes the transparent gifs, they are 40 pixels square, you could add your logo or any other image you want.

Just make sure all the graphics are uploaded to your correct folder and thats it on the graphics side.

Now the code

Code:

<html>
<head>

<title>UKBL ~ Forum Scroller display</title>

</head>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#000000" leftmargin=0 rightmargin=0 topmargin=0 bottommargin=0 marginheight=0 marginwidth=0>

<br><br>

<center>
<table width="800" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border: 1px solid #5272A9; color: #5272A9; font: 33px arial black, arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 5px; font-weight: bold" background="images/misc/grad.jpg"><tr><td align="center" valign="middle">
<marquee scrolldelay="100">
<img src="images/misc/rss.gif" align="middle"> Welcome Friends <img src="images/misc/purse.gif" align="middle">
</marquee>
</td></tr></table>
</center>

<br><br>

</BODY>
</HTML>

1st Edit

Code:

<table width="800" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border: 1px solid #5272A9; color: #5272A9; font: 33px arial black, arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 5px; font-weight: bold"

here you edit the width of the marquee, default is 800, You can change the border width, and color The font color and style, so easy from this 1st edit.

2nd Edit

Code:

background="images/misc/grad.jpg">

This is the location of the gradient gif, if you change the color and the name of your gradient, don't foreget to change it here too

3rd Edit

Code:

 <img src="images/misc/rss.gif" align="middle"> YOUR MESSAGE HERE <img src="images/misc/purse.gif" align="middle">

Here you can see the 2 gif files and their locations, You can add more pictures by simply adding the html code like this <img src="images/misc/YOUR.GIF" align="middle">

You can see where your message goes too

When you've finished, Save your edits and copy and paste the entire code to your Styles Header, Right at the bottom. Or you could experiment by adding it to other templates,

You can, since its only basic html code, add more than one to a page, with different messages, Experiment is the fun part

Thats it, Hope you have fun with your new scroller

Please click install if you use

Hi El Intocable

I've had a look at the code and the code is OK, a quick way to test it is paste it to a text editor like notepad or similar and then save it as a html file, something like banner.html, save it to your desktop and you can check your code by simply clicking on it.

Thats what i did and the font came out the right size, can you have a go your end and let me know what you see by adding a screen shot

should look something like this

The text is the right size, the banner gradiaent and icons are missing as i'm not pointing to your server, but the letters are the right size, theres nothing wrong with the code
