HTML - Formatting Within A Scrolling Text Box

I want to replace the asterisks with numbers in superscript format - so instead of five asterisks I would just have a '5' on the upper right of the character the row of asterisks was adjacent to: http://episin.blogspot.com/2011/07/f...iological.html

Thank you

I every one I'm working on a page where the text is set up in HTML and I'm getting some pretty different results on different computers. This really is a 2 parted question. First if you would be so kind as to visit this page and tell me if the text is properly sized and formatted as to fill the areas between the images:

http://www.reelectjusticecliffordtaylor.com/bio.html

I've included a screen grab of what the text looks like on my PC when I see it live. at this link:

http://www.johncliffordtaylor.com/text_example.jpg


Second base on what I've seen up to this point I would like to know if there is a way to get the text to appear more uniformly in different browsers on different PC's.
So far I'm just working with:

body,td,th {
font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 16px;
color: #2B24A6; (pretty much navy)
}

that are embedded right inside my page HTML page. So I'm very open to any ideas on how to get the text to appear more consistently across many computers and browsers.

Thx for the help every one!

Hello all, i hope i have posted in the correct place.

I am wondering if anyone is able to help me or even guide me in the right place.

I am looking to create a verticle scrolling box that has a thumbnail inside and text to go below it.
I am looking to have say other website screen shots with a short description below, all hyper linked.
The thing is i would like to add multiple thumbnails and text.
Would using a marque be the correct way to go about doing this? or is there other ways?
Any help is appreciated, i am a novice so any help and guidence is great.

Thanks for your help in advance

Hey all.
First post here, but I've been around for a few weeks, just not registered.

Actually I have a problem. I am using Dreamweaver to make a website.
In the News page, I put a scrolling textbox using the div tags and it all worked pretty well, but now I would like to edit that textbox, customize the look of it.

I've seen it done in other sites, but I'm not sure its HTML. Actually what I want to do is change the BG color, change the color and style of the scoll bar (For example a red dot instead of the original blue/grey bar, if its possible). I know I've seen on another site, someone changed the bar, he made it more square and changed the color or opacity, kindda what I want to do. If you have a page will all the codes, which is probably hard to find, that would be the best

Also, I tried adding a border with <div style="overflow=auto [etc] border=3px solid" but it didnt change a thing. Can anyone help me with those problems please?
Thanks

PS: Ill try adding the full code later, but its home and Im at school. Can anyone tell me how to do the thing in which you add the code which looks different from the rest of the text?

I'm trying to update my web page, but I can't get this scroll to appear. It works when I open the notepad code with the browser, but not when I try to update the site. Here is a copy of what I've done.

The blue font is the part I added for the marquee. What am I missing?

Thanks for your assistance.

Hi all. I'm and HTML Newbie and am building a quick and easy site for someone. The way I typically do it for these type of "brochure" style sites is to simply lay everything out in photoshop. Slice it up save as HTML and then edit in Dreamweaver. Here is the HTML as it is now:

Pretty simple. In the first Table I'd like to be able to put text in there and have it scroll. How do I do this? I've already tried putting a div style="overflow:auto; tag around the first table but that definitely didn't work. Any suggestions? Bare in mind I know NO CSS and only the basics of HTML.

Alright, I'll admit up front that while I know very bare basics of HTML, I mostly just deal with Photoshop and the like, so I'm not much of a webmaster. That being said, here's my question:

I have a site split up into tables, and I would like to place a scrollable section in the middle (where I can put whatever amount of text I need), but also place a non-scrolling image behind it. Does that make sense? If not, then I could try to explain further.

Any help would be great.

Hello

i have a simple site with a background color, and image and a scrolling text box. What is the appropriate code to position the box using the image as the reference point, not the corner of the screen so the text always goes to the same spot on the screen.

Code:

<div align="center"><img src="EA-vendorapplicationimage.jpg" alt="Eclectic Affinity Vendor Information Form - Become an Eclectic Affinity WHole Sale Vendor" align="absmiddle"></div>

<body>

<div class="ss-base-body" dir="ltr">

<div style="
overflow:auto;
position:absolute;
height:509px;
width: 698px;
top:172px;
left:241px;">

The code above works to keep the box in one location, but that location is from the top left of the screen which is only useful if everyone used the same screen.

Thanks

I am trying to slowly put together a very simple content management site for a footy club i run,

the data is stored in a mysql database and lined to the web page using a dynamic table from within dreamweaver, it displays all the info except one thing it appears in one huge paragraph, take a look at my page

Link is at:

http://itdesignz.co.uk/Clients/RTFC/cms/home.php

The Data in the mysql has the spaces and enters breaks in it, but these are not reflected in my page.

I am really new to dreamweaver and am not sure how to overcome this problem,

Please help

Andy

I have a scrolling text bar going across my site, but I would like to limit the amount of times it will scroll. It seems kind of annoying to be scrolling forever. Ideally, the text would scroll 3 times and then disapear. Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Scott

Here is the code:
<marquee behavior="scroll" scrollamount="1" scrolldelay="15" direction="up" width="250" height="87" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 9pt;">
<font color = #ffffff><h5> Komatsu NTC Ltd.
Launches Special <br>
Machining Center Promotion<br>
</h5>
<i>Promotion Ends December 6th.<br>

To Learn More, Click </font><font color= #b8382d> NEWS. <href="news.html"></font></i>
</marquee>
Now, how do I have it stop at the last (and stay)?

Thanks!
