The marquee tag is obsolete, and developers are strongly encouraged to avoid it. Different browsers will display it differently, and future updates could prevent the text from blinking at all.Learn the Javascript approach instead if you are creating a professional web site. Google Chrome does not support the "scrollamount" attribute, which this method relies on. In that browser, your text will scroll across the page instead of blinking. Open your HTML document in a simple text editor. Type <marquee> in front of the text you would like to blink. Type </marquee> after the text. As always, set up your HTML page first with <html>, <head>, and <body> tags. Change the opening tag to <marquee width="300">. This will not change the size of your font. There are two reasons why you might need to change this to a different number: If your text does not fit, it will scroll instead of blinking. Increase the width to prevent this. In Chrome, the text will scroll across a distance determined by the width. Inside the same tag, write scrollamount="300" (or the same number as the width). By default, marquee text scrolls across the page. By setting the scroll amount to the same number as the width, the text will "scroll" into the same position it was already in. This causes a blink effect. Your text should now look something like this:<marquee width="300" scrollamount="300">Blinking text here.</marquee>. Open the HTML file in a web browser to see the effect. If the text is blinking too quickly or too slowly, change the speed with the attribute scrolldelay="500". The default delay is set to 85. Use a higher number for a slower blink, or a lower number for a faster blink. You should now have:<marquee width="300" scrollamount="300" scrolldelay="500">Blinking text here.</marquee> Many web users find blinking text annoying. To stop the animation once you've grabbed the reader's attention, enter loop="7". Now the text will blink seven times, then disappear. (You can use any number instead of seven.) The completed code:<marquee width="300" scrollamount="300" scrolldelay="500" loop="7">Blinking text here.</marquee>

Summary: Use this for personal projects only. Insert the marquee tags around the blinking text. Set the text width. Set the scrollamount to the same value as the width. Change the scroll delay. Limit the number of blinks (optional).

Drugs called antihistamines are the most frequently used and widely available medications for the symptoms of motion sickness. Antihistamines work by influencing the part of the brain that controls nausea and vomiting.The most common ones used for sea sickness include dimenhydrinate (Dramamine), cyclizine (Marezine), diphenhydramine (Benadryl), promethazine (Phenergan) and meclizine (Antivert). Non-sedating antihistamines appear to be less effective, and besides, you may actually want to sleep your time away while on a boat. Promethazine causes the most sleepiness, whereas meclizine (also used to treat vertigo) is less sedating and can be taken as a single daily dose. Medications are most effective when taken prior to boarding a boat and less effective for symptom relief after the sea sickness has begun. Anticholinergics are another class of drugs commonly used to combat motion sickness and they work by slowing down the messages related to the involuntary nervous system that go back and forth between the brain, inner ears, and eyes. Scopolamine (Transderm-Scop) is the most well-known anticholinergic and is available as a skin patch meant to be applied behind your ear at least eight hours before boarding a boat. It's effectiveness for nausea prevention can last for up to three days. Common side effects of scopolamine are the same as those of antihistamines (drowsiness, blurred vision, dry mouth, and confusion). Scopolamine also has the ability to cause hallucinations and wipe out short-term memory, so extreme caution should be used with this drug. Pills tend to produce more side effects than the transdermal patch, but never use more than one patch at a time. Other prescription medications sometimes used to manage sea sickness include: antidopaminergics (promethazine and metoclopramide), amphetamines, and benzodiazepines (Xanax and Valium). Some prescription drugs commonly cause nausea in sensitive users, so it's important to realize if yours are on that list. If they are and you're planning on a cruise or just going boating for the day, ask your doctor if you can discontinue or reduce the dose over the short-term. For example, some antidepressants, oral contraceptives, antibiotics (erythromycin), anti-parasitics and narcotics (codeine) are known to worsen the nausea of sea sickness. However, never change doses of prescription medication without your doctor's approval. If you are taking prescription medications, avoid mixing them with alcohol, particularly while on a boat. Over-the-counter anti-inflammatories, such as ibuprofen and naproxen, can also worsen the effects of motion sickness.

Summary: Try over-the-counter antihistamines. Ask your doctor about prescription anticholinergics. Ask your doctor what drugs may cause or worsen nausea.

Forms allow you to easily see the data for each field, as well as quickly switch between records or create new ones. Forms are essential for extended periods of data entry, as most people find them much easier to work with than tables. This will create a form based on the fields contained in the table automatically. Access does a pretty good job of automatically creating fields that are the correct size, but you can resize and move around any elements on the form that you want. If you don't want a specific field to be displayed on the form, you can right-click on it and select Delete. If your tables have relationships, a datasheet will appear beneath each record, showing the connected data. You can edit your connected data this way much easier. For example, each sales rep in your database may have a customer database attached to their record. The arrow buttons at the bottom move from record to record. The fields will be populated by your record data as you switch between them. You can use the buttons on the edges to move to the first or last record. This is located in the upper-left corner, and will allow you to start changing the values of your table by using the form. You can edit the text in any field of each record to change the data in the table. The changes will reflect automatically in the table, as well as in any connected tables. Click the "Add Record" button near the navigation buttons to create a new record at the end of the list. You can then use the fields to input data into the blank record in the table. This is a much easier way to add new information than through the table view. Make sure to save your form by pressing Ctrl + S so that you can easily access it again later. It will appear in your navigation frame on the left side of the screen.
Summary: Select the table that you want to create a form for. Click the Form button in the Create tab. Navigate your new form. Click the datasheet button to use the table. Make changes to existing records. Add new records. Save the form when finished.
