This script will let the text scroll contineously. This means, the second round scroll will start just after first round. This will overcome the in-between delay of HTML MARQUEE tag. However, this script is not free from limitations. But works on both IE & Firefox.
<html>
<head>
<script language=“javascript”>
var text = “There is a long sentence With some more text However as soon as this message plays There’s a really long break Before the text starts Over.”; // User Text
var i = 0;
var n = 50; // Number of Charaters to display
var speed = 50; // Scroll speed in milliseconds
text = text + text.substring(0,n)
function marqueeText() {
document.getElementById(“divText”).innerHTML = text.substring(i,i+n);
i++;
if (i > text.length - n ) i = 0;
setTimeout(‘marqueeText()’, speed);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id=“divText” style=“border:solid 1px gray;background-color:#CCCCCC “ align=“center”></div>
</body>
</html>
<script language=“javascript”>
marqueeText();
</script>
