I'm not exactly sure what you want but here goes.

<table width="468" border="0">
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top">

<hr width="468" size="60" border="0" color=black>

<marquee><font size=+1 color=gold><I><B>Welcome to Jeff & Suzanne's Place where internet romance came true</B></I></marquee>

</td>
</tr>
</table>

I tried using the above html but it did not do what I wanted. I am trying to get the text to scroll inside the background.

Do you know if you go to some severs that give you free web page space when you go to a site they have popup banners that appear at the top I am tryin to create a simple banner similar to those. Like going to an MSN homepage.

Do you want a the banner to be displayed at the top of the page or separate popup window to load at the start?

Sounds like to need to use a combination of scripts. One that opens the new window and another that opens it on loading the page. The <b>open.window</b> and <b>onload</b> commands are probably what you want to use. Another suggestion would be to view the source code on those pages that you are trying to emulate and see how they did it.

This banner is part of what they call a banner exchange program where you can exchange banners with other users and they can put it on their site in which you will out their banner on yours. Does thar help any?

Those banners are images - animated gif's. All you need to do is create your picture then use the <IMG> tag to display the image.

Thanks for all your help,,,,one more question should I use a image editing program such as Paint shop Pro or something similar to create it.

yes, Paint SHop Pro will be fine for this task. Then you can use the Animation Shop that comes with it to make the banners more visually impressive.
