ActiveX Marquee Control Shows Blank Space

ID: Q155342

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

When you are viewing a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) page that uses the Microsoft ActiveX Marquee control, a portion of the marquee may have a blank space.

CAUSE

The width specified for the Marquee control is greater than the width of the marquee page.

RESOLUTION

Change the HTML page as outlined below. If the page is not your Web page, notify the author of the page and suggest the following changes:

Place the contents of the marquee page into a table. Set the width of the Marquee object to equal the width of the table. For example: 

 <table background="background.jpg" width=440 border=0 bgcolor="#E4E6E7">
 <tr><td align=center><font size=4 color="#7E003C"><b>Welcome to My Home
 Page!</b></font></td></tr>
 <tr><td align=center><font size=4 color="#7E003C">This is a  marquee!
 </font></td></tr>
 <tr><td align=center><font size=4 color="#FF0000">Use ActiveX!
 </font></td></tr>
 <tr><td align=center><font size=4 color="#0000A0">Draw Attention To Your
 Site!</font></td></tr>
 </td></tr></table>
The above HTML code should be in the HTML page that defines the marquee. On the page in which the Marquee object is defined, set the width of the object to be equal to the width of the table (in this example, 440).
