The NOBR tag

If you do not want text to flow accross the page in the usual manner, and want one big long line to appear that can stretch for a particularly long distance then there is a tag called NOBR that will allow this effect to be achieved. Without it the text will wrap according to the dimensions of the window the page is being viewed in. Of course, sideways scrolling by the viewer will be necessary to read the entire text in this arrangement, so use it where is is really needed.

Marquees (IE specific)

Use a percentage eg. WIDTH=n% to size the Marquee
