HOW TO CHANGE
THE MOUSE CURSOR

I FOUND THIS GUIDE ONLINE THAT HAS A WHOLE LIST OF DIFFERENT CURSOR TIPS. THERE IS ONE MAIN CODE TO INSTALL IN BETWEEN THE "HEAD" TAGS. AFTER THAT YOU CAN CHOOSE WHICH CURSOR IS RIGHT FOR YOU AND INSTALL THE NAME OF THE CURSOR IN YOUR NEW TAG. THERE IS ALSO AN OPTION THAT WILL ALLOW YOU TO CHOOSE DIFFERENT TIPS FOR LINKS THAT ARE ON YOUR PAGE. EITHER WAY CHANGES YOUR POINTER TO THE WAY YOU WANT IT TO LOOK ON YOUR SITE.

THE CURSOR ON THIS BLOG HAS BEEN CHANGED TO "CROSSHAIR"

THIS SECTION IS GOING TO TAKE YOU THROUGH VARIOUS PARTS OF AN HTML DOCUMENT. IN AN HTML DOCUMENT YOU WILL FIND A TERM WE ARE GOING TO REFER TO AS "TAGS." THIS VIDEO WILL TAKE YOU THROUGH THE MOST BASIC TAGS AND SOME OF THEIR ATTRIBUTES. ATTRIBUTES WILL BE DISCUSSED WITH THEIR APPROPRIATE TAGS AND I WILL EXPLAIN WHAT EACH DOES AS THE VIDEO PROGRESSES. THE HTML SERIES OF THE CCP LESSONS IS GOING TO BE DIFFERENT THAN THAT OF THE GENERAL LESSONS IN THAT THEY SHOULD BE AIMED MORE TOWARD TEACHING HTML THAN THE USE OF BLOGGER.COM FEATURES. I HOPE YOU FIND THIS SECTION INSIGHTFUL AND AS ALWAYS COMMENTS ARE WELCOME AS ARE SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO MAKE THIS SITE BETTER.

LESSON 14

Marquee is a term used to define the scrolling text that slides across the screen. There is an example on the right side bar of this blog. Using the marquee is simple, place this in your script:

<marquee> Change this text </marquee>

You can use other commands to further enhance how your text moves. Try this:

marquee bgcolor="#00ffff"

This will change the line of background behind the text. I can give you a rough idea of what hexidecimal color in some geeky long winded example, but I am going to try to keep this relatively simple. Below is a the basic chart defining which color is what code, simply use the color code you want to show up. I cover how to change the font in another lesson you can see it here, but for now let's move on.

marquee scrollamount="3"

This defines how fast you want the text to slide.

marquee scrolldelay="2"

If you need it to go a lot slower try this delay instead.

marquee scrolldelay="500" scrollamount="400"

I have not tested this yet, but I am already itching to go play with it, by adding both of these attributes with the numbers slightly offset, this causes the text to blink.

marquee direction="right"

This can be used for left, right, up and down however you should define either height, width or both. Like this:
marquee direction="down" height="90" width="100"
This can be used to make a scrolling box with content moving and keep in mind that it's not just text you can scroll. You can use images, links and most other content. Try it, here's an example:
