Halp!1 Need the HTML code for yellow highlighting
Am having to reconstruct a lot of lost stuff. Have googled the HTML but haven't found the one for yellow highlighting. This means YOU, SoCal!1

In the meantime, let me try this:

1. Um, O.K. So does anybody know how to shorten those gray bars

AND change the color to something besides gray? Or is it "grey."

The code (substituting greater/lesser-thans for brackets):

<MARQUEE bgcolor="#CCCCCC" loop="-1" scrollamount="2" width="100%">**********QUOTE*******</MARQUEE>



Let's see this:

2. Use a span tag around the text in question
as in <span style="background-color:yellow">Your text here</span>

Also, that marquee tag is non-standard HTML and may not show up in all browsers properly. Plus it's annoying as hell, so unless you're trying to be annoying, I'd ditch it. ;)

6. It could be something with the browser
IE introduced the MARQUEE tag around version 3 (in response to Netscape's infamous BLINK tag). If you're not viewing the page in IE, you may not see any change in the appearance even if you change the parameters inside the tag, since it's a non-standard tag with minimal support in non-IE browsers.

8. It's posted in the O.P. Just substitute open/close BRACKETS for the
open/close "diamonds" (greater-than, lesser-than) symbols.
