Two Simple HTML Things

how do you center a marquee. i tried <center></center> and this <marquee direction="up" align="center" scrollamount="1" height="270" onmouseover=this.stop() onmouseout=this.start()>


and i want to turn this fieldset black

<fieldset color="000000">
Welcome<br />

<span id="my_name"></span><br /><br /><br />

<span id="my_avatar"></span><br />

</fieldset>

1. depends on what you want centered.. the marquee itself to whatever element it is inside, or the content inside the marquee? if you want the stuff inside centered, put the <center></center> inside the marquee tags, and then all the content inside the center tags.

2. the font color or the background color?

centered works now. i just wanted it kept centered in its cell which i had it

i figured it out on accident but thefont sizei cant change now. heres the whole cell

<td width="18%" class="midtable" vAlign="top">
<center>
<fieldset font size=3; style="border: #9C8700 solid 1px";>
<b><i>
Welcome<br />

<span id="my_name"></span><br /><br /><br />

<span id="my_avatar"></span><br /><br />


<b><i>
</fieldset>
</center>
</i>
</b>
</font>
</td>

you are getting better at HTML, but you have to make sure you are closing things in the reverse order you opened them. the "<b><i>" right before the "</fieldset>" shouldnt be there. the "</fieldset></center>" should come AFTER the closing "</i></b>" tags.
you have a closing </font> tag but not an opening one. the "font size=3;" you have inside the fieldset tag will just cause an error.

compare:

<td width="18%" class="midtable" vAlign="top">
<center>
<fieldset style="border: #9C8700 solid 1px";>
<font size=3><b><i>
Welcome<br />

<span id="my_name"></span><br /><br /><br />

<span id="my_avatar"></span><br /><br />
</i>
</b>
</font>
</fieldset>
</center>
</td>

see how I close each tag in the reverse order it was opened?
