How to Change the Color Code Text in Movable Type

Movable text lets you scroll content across a user's Web browser window. You use the HTML font tag to change the color code text and the bgcolor property in the marquee tag to change the background color. Changing these colors helps you make the text stand out as it moves across the user's Web browser window on your Web page.

Instructions

1. Right-click the HTML page that you want to edit and click "Open With" to display a list of editors. Click your HTML editor to load the code.

2. Click the section of your code where you want to display the scrolling text. Create a font tag to create the text color. For instance, the following font tag sets the text as white:

   <font color="#FFFFFF"> </font>

3. Add the scrolling text within the new font tags. The following code sets movable text that displays "Hello, World" in the browser:

   <marquee>Hello, World</marquee>

4. Change the background color in the marquee tag. If you want to change the background color, add the following property to the marquee tag:

   bgcolor="#00080"

   In this example, the background color is blue, but you can change the background to any hexadecimal color.
