How do I make a marquee that goes from bottom to top? I want to make my topsite buttons on my site do this so that I can fit more than just 3 or 4. Can anyone help me?

Simple advice - don't use marquees.

Slightly more complex advice - I don't think you can...unless there was a special argument you can use...but in my days of marquees, I don't remember this.

You could use Javascript to do it, but don't. Flash and Java are even worse.

Scrolling content distracts from the focus of the page. If your page has no focus, rethink the design.

Lol, Javascript?

text
<marquee direction="up" height="50">text</marquee>

That's all it takes.

I'm shocked and disappointed that they would add support for such a useless and annoying tag to Safari and Mozilla.

Also, if you're going to mention that tag, then at least explain how to tune the speed, so if he does use it, he won't end up making his visitors feel like they're playing another one of those stupid click the monkey games with his site navigation links.

If your layout lacks screen real estate, using something users have more control over (drop down menus or section pages with more detailed links) would be more appropriate than something that forces them to wait on the links to pass by. This is the Internet after all, not the TV Guide channel.

But in general, hiding important links from the user's immediate view is a good way to make them assume in the first few seconds of seeing your page that it doesn't have much content (or rather, the content they're looking for). You should always make sure your layout has room for the important links.

Of course, he's only using them for topsite links, but why not just make the things invisible if you're going to make them more difficult to click? It's not like users flood to topsite lists to find the sites they want to look at anyway. Try spending your time getting a higher PageRank on Google.

Wow, that's annoying.
You could just put those links other pages, with one or two links to them. That's how mine's set up; a basic navbar at the top (with Javascript menus for instant access to any page, or HTML pages for those with crappy browsers) and a page of links stuffed in there somewhere.
