Hi, I've been trying to work this set up out but I couldn't, I don't know if it is possible, here is what I'm looking for:
I need to allow changes in the marque properties "behavior, scrollamount and scrolldelay" and also in the content (text) that is going to be shown in the marquee. I have tried all I could think of, I tried open tag after the div and close tag before the close div, the result is that is not shown in the wyswyg but only when the "html" button is pressed removing all the tools to customize the content text. Then I tried two open and close set of tags and then the quotes are converted into "&quote;" removing the functionallity of the property I even tried to apply open and close tags just to the number values but then again the &quote; is changed. I tried many more things with no success, so I just ask for help in case someone can tell me if I can achieve this or it is just not possible to do.

Thanks.

here the code

<marquee width="100%" behavior="scroll" direction="left" scrollamount="1" scrolldelay="20" onmouseover="this.stop()" onmouseout="this.start()"><!-- #BeginSnippet name="banner" lastsavedts="2008-02-16 09:16:07" lastsavedby="admin"  -->
<pre>
<span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; font-family: Arial; color: #cce7cf" class="Apple-style-span">Test! Test! Test!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</span>
</pre>
<!-- #EndSnippet --></marquee>

Hello,

Hmm.. good question.  OK, I think the problem is this:

http://webdesign.about.com/od/htmltags/p/bltags_marquee.htm

The marquee tag is not officially part of the XHTML standard, so the editor in Snippetmaster does not know how to work with it. 

Here's a good summary of the tag:

http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/_MARQUEE.html

So... that being said, if it's at all possible, it's best not to use the marquee tag since it will not be the same in all browsers.  But if you insist on using it anyway... Snippetmaster should be able to edit the text between your Snippet Tags above with no problem.  Is it possible to set me up with a test page on your server so I can login and test this out?  I'll try to recreate the problem and see if I can figure out what it the cause of the screwy quotes.  (Send me an email with a link to this thread, your FTP info for the /snippetmaster folder, and what test file I can use for testing.)

Thanks!
