Starting and stopping of scrolling by mouse over and mouse out

Since Marquee HTML tag gives us scrolling text in web pages we can use them for various purposes in our page design. One of the common use is scrolling news items in the web page which continuously display scrolling messages. We will learn how to stop this scrolling by placing Mouse pointer over this and again starts scrolling once the mouse is taken out of the scrolling area.

WE will be using OnMouseover and OnMouseout event triggers. To indentify the message div area we will assign one id value to it through getElementById. Here is the code to do this.
HTML marquee tag to stop and start scroll by using Mouse over and mouse out events in Div

<marquee id='scroll_news' style="font-family:Book Antiqua; color: #FFFFFF" bgcolor="#000080" ><div onMouseOver="document.getElementById('scroll_news').stop();" onMouseOut="document.getElementById('scroll_news').start();">News 1   News 2  News 3 News 4 ....... More news here </div></marquee>
News 1 News 2 News 3 News 4 ....... More news here
As you have seen the scrolling news stops when mouse pointer is kept over them and starts scrolling again when mouse is removed.

Marquee with mousedown and mouseup events

We can stop scrolling by clicking the mouse left button and holding it. On release of the button the scroll will start again.
News 1 News 2 News 3 News 4 ....... More news here
<marquee id='scroll_news2' style="font-family:Book Antiqua; color: #FFFFFF" bgcolor="#000080" ><div onMousedown="document.getElementById('scroll_news2').stop();" onMouseUp="document.getElementById('scroll_news2').start();">News 1   News 2  News 3 News 4 ....... More news here </div></marquee>

Adding Links to Scrolling text

Note that each item can be a different link to different pages or news links so let us try displaying each news item with hyper links to different pages. WE have kept links to different sections of the plus2net here.
<marquee id='scroll_news' style="font-family:Book Antiqua; color: #FFFFFF" bgcolor="#000080" ><div onMouseOver="document.getElementById('scroll_news').stop();" onMouseOut="document.getElementById('scroll_news').start();"><a href=../php_tutorial/site_map.php>PHP</a>  | <a href=../sql_tutorial/site_map.php>SQL</a>  |  <a href=../>plus2net Home</a></div></marquee>
The same events can be triggered by onmouseup and onmousedown events

Starting and stopping scrolling text by using Start and Stop button

We will try to control the start and stop of the scrolling of marquee tag through one pair of buttons. We will connect start of scrolling to one button and stopping of scrolling to another button. Here is the code to do that.
<marquee id='scroll_news2' style="font-family:Book Antiqua; color: #FFFFFF" bgcolor="#000080" >News 1   News 2  News 3 News 4 ....... More news here </marquee>
<input type=button onClick="document.getElementById('scroll_news2').stop();" value='Stop Scrolling'> <input type=button onClick="document.getElementById('scroll_news2').start();" value='Start Scrolling'>
News 1 News 2 News 3 News 4 ....... More news here

Using single button

By adding a JavaScript function which takes care of label on the button and manage the stop or start action.

We will use getElementById to read the value and the Label on the button.

By using one if condition we will see if the button label ( value ) is Start then we will make it Stop and start the scrolling. Similarly if the label is Stop then we will make it Start and stop the scrolling.

News 1 News 2 News 3 News 4 ....... More news here

Here is the code
<marquee id='scroll_news4' style="font-family:Book Antiqua; color: #FFFFFF" bgcolor="#000080" >News 1 News 2 News 3 News 4 ....... More news here </marquee>

<input type='Button' value='Stop' id ='b1' onClick='button_click()';>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
function button_click()
{
if(document.getElementById('b1').value=="Start"){
document.getElementById('b1').value="Stop";
document.getElementById('scroll_news4').start();
}else{
document.getElementById('b1').value="Start";
document.getElementById('scroll_news4').stop();
}
}

// End -->
</script>
