XANGA/MARQUEES, Having trouble with my marquee. Options

[annihilate-me]

Please tell my why my choice of font isn't comming up! It's just comming up as Arial, but I want it to be Century Gothic.

CODE

<MARQUEE style="background-color:transp; border: 0px none 000000; color:CC0000; font-family:CENTURY GOTHIC; font-size:12pt; width:275px; height:150px; " direction="up" behavior="scroll" scrollamount="1" >
</marquee>

Try this instead:

font: 12 px century gothic;

[annihilate-me]

Just tried it, it still is comming up Arial...

[digitalfragrance]

That's odd... can I see your layout code?

[annihilate-me]

Yep!

In my layout code it's all century gothic. I only know basic HTML coding because I've been teaching myself. As a result, I was able to change the fonts, colors and stuff to my liking.

CODE

<MARQUEE style="background-color:transp; border: 0px none 000000; color:CC0000; font-family:CENTURY GOTHIC; font-size:12pt; width:275px; height:150px; " direction="up" behavior="scroll" scrollamount="1" ><center>
Biting keeps your words at bay,<br>
Tending to the sores that stay,<br>
Happiness is just a gash away.<br>
When I open a familiar scar,<br>
Pain goes shooting like a star,<br>
Comfort hasn't failed to follow so far.<br><br>

And you might say it's self-indulgent,<br>
You might say its self-destructive;<br>
But, you see, it's more productive,<br>
Than if i were to be healthy.<br><br>

And pens and penknives take the blame.<br>
Crane my neck and scratch my name,<br>
But the ugly marks are worth the momentary gain...<br><br>
When I jab a sharpened object in,<br>
Choirs of angels seem to sing<br>
Hymns of hate in memorandum.<br><br>

And you might say it's self-indulgent,<br>
And you might say it's self-destructive;<br>
But, you see, it's more productive,<br>
Than if i were to be happy.<br><br>

And sappy songs about sex and cheating,<br>
Bland accounts of two lovers meeting,<br>
Make me want to give mankind a beating.<br><br>

And you might say it's self-destructive;<br>
But, you see, I'd kick the bucket<br>
sixty times before i'd kick the habit. <br><br>

And as the skin rips off i cherish<br>
The revolting thought,<br>
That even if I quit<br>
There's not a chance in hell I'd stop.<br>
And anyone can see the signs,<br>
Mittens in the summertime;<br>
Thank you for your pity,<br>
you are too kind.<br><br>

And you might say its self-inflicted, <br>
But you see that's contradictive.<br>
Why on earth would anyone <br>
Practice self-destruction?<br><br>

And pain opinions are sitcom feeding,<br>
They don't know that their<br>
Minds are teething;<br>
Makes me want to give mankind a beating<br><br>

I've tried bandages and sinking.<br>
I've tried gloves and even thinking.<br>
I've tried vaseline,<br>
I've tried everything.<br>
And no one cares if your back is bleeding,<br>
They're concerned with their hair receding;<br>
Looking back it was all maltreating,<br>
Every thought that occurred misleading...<br><br>

Makes me want to give myself a beating.</center>

Dang. So your layout show up as century gothic, but your marquee remains arial?

Have you tried changing the options in your Look and Feel to century gothic? If not, that will work.

[annihilate-me]

My layout comes up century, but Xanga doesn't have Century gothic as one of their font choices, I thought about just changing all of the fonts.

[digitalfragrance]

Okay. Try putting this into your code.
[code]
<style="text/css">
.marquee{
font: 12px century gothic;
}
</style>

[twodreamlovers]

shouldn't it be

CODE

<style="text/css">
marquee{font:12px century gothic;}
</style>

without the period?

try editing the marquee. there seems to be problems

CODE

<MARQUEE style="background-color:transparent; border:0px; color:CC0000; font-family:CENTURY GOTHIC; font-size:12px; width:275px; height:150px;" direction="up" scrollamount="1" >
</marquee>

try replacing the old one with this one.
