Put this into your <BODY> section

<!-- Start of marquee HTML code -->
<div id="dhtmlgoodies_marquee">
	<div class="textObj"><span class="highlighted">Breaking news!</span> This is the content of my marquee. </div>
	<div class="textObj"><span class="highlighted">STOCK NEWS:</span> Company 1 <span class="greenText">82.5</span>(+0.5), Company 2 <span class="greenText">42.9</span>(-2.4), Company 3 <span class="greenText">189.9</span>(-13.7)</div>
	<div class="textObj"><span class="highlighted">Sport:</span> The soccer season is almost over in Norway now. We have a few thrilling matches ahead of us.</div>
	<div class="textObj"><span class="highlighted">Other news:</span> The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.</div>
</div>
<!-- END OF MARQUEE HTML CODE -->
<script type="text/javascript">
initMarquee();	// Initialize marquee script
</script>

Configuration

You use plain HTML when you define the content of the marquee.
<div id="dhtmlgoodies_marquee"> is used to define the marquee object, and you use one inner div for each of your news messages. Example:
<div class="textObj">
<span class="highlighted">Breaking news!</span>
This is the content of my marquee.
</div>

CSS in the <HEAD> section is used for the layout of the marquee. Look at the comments there for more information.

You could choose between showing the marquee at the top or at the bottom of your window. This is defined in a javascript variable:
var dhtmlgoodies_marqueePosition = 'bottom'; // "top" or "bottom"

The speed is also something you could change. Two variables are used for this:
var dhtmlgoodies_marqueeSteps = 2; // Higher = Faster, Lower = slower and more smoothly
var dhtmlgoodies_marqueeSpeed = 8; // Lower value = Faster
