Question Scrolling Title Bars in IE...

How can I go about getting a scrolling title bar for my website? I don't know HTML very well, but I can Copy&Paste with the best of them, if you have it available

Also, I have DreamWeaverMX, if anyone knows a quick way to do it in there.

Thanks folks

THanks man!

Do you put it right after the title tag?

(I'll try it out, and let you know if I have any problems...)

hmm, im still not sure where exactly to put the tag, could you help me?
Also, are the tags really all thats needed to make it scroll (assuming I get it in the right spot in the HTML)?

Maybe you could type out a quick example of where it should go.

(Sorry for the n00bish questions)

A word of advice is not to use scrolling. Scrolling text is usually done by newbies but is one of the most despised things on a website. You can use the despised Marquee tag which only works in IE or use js like this.

Still your goal is to make people come to your site and want to come back. Scrolling text does not generally help you in that goal.

Thanks.
Truth be told I dont like it, and it's not really for my site.
Its for a friends site. He was asking if I knew how to do it and I told him I would try to find out for him.

Thanks for your input mairving (I'll just send him that link you posted since it is pretty informative)
