Marquee Tag

Hi all

I would like to add scrolling text to the middle of my main page. Did some research & found some HTML code, but :unsure: have no idea which CSS page to add to, and then where within the page to place it.

Many thanks!

As the posts above indicate, this is a relatively simple task of adding the <marquee> html tags to one of your defined pages (such as define_main_page.php - and as you know, these pages are edited under ADMIN>>>TOOLS>>>DEFINE PAGES EDITOR).

All you do is call up the page where you want the scroller to appear, toggle the wysiwyg editor to HTML mode (the <> menu symbol), and enter the html required to get the scroller to work.

Search google for "marquee html" to see how it is formatted.

Thanks fairestcape for your reply but I wanted to add the marquee script in the tpl_header.php which I couldn't find in the ADMIN>>>TOOLS>>>DEFINE PAGES EDITOR how can I add it to the list there and how to add the script to the tpl_header.php page to show the marquee exactly under the logo ? any instructions on that ?
