How would I cause text to scroll either vertically or horizontally? (And be able to change the speed of the scroll). Any help to get me started would be appreciated...al
A:
Straight out of basic HTML 1.0:
<div align="center">
<font color="#FFF" size="2">
<marquee bgcolor="#000080" direction="right" loop="20" width="75%">
<strong>This is cool!</strong>
</marquee>
</font>
</div>
or vertical
<div align="center">
<marquee bgcolor="#000080" scrollamount="2" direction="up" loop="true" width="35%">
<center>
<font color="#ffffff" size="+1">
<strong> THIS IS A COOL WAY<br>
TO MAKE YOUR TEXT<br>
SCROLL UPWARDS<br><br>
IT IS EASY AND FAST LOADING
</strong>
</font>
</center>
</marquee>
</div>
Don't sweat the comments man.

Maybe you should hint that this is a non-standard HTML tag and that one cannot assume that this support by all browsers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marquee_element

The comments are perfectly appropriate. The question doesn't have nearly enough information to arrive at an answer without guessing.

If you are talking about web development and do not want to use the non-standards <marquee> element, you should implement it in JavaScript. A nice solution, a plugin for jQuery library - here: http://remysharp.com/2008/09/10/the-silky-smooth-marquee/

I really appreciate your answer. I thought that I posted this question in the 'Android' tag. The programming lang. I'm referring to is Android Java. Anyone know how to scroll text in Java?
