I have put scrolling text that provide links going upward. The problem is that whenever you click on one of the links within the scrolling text, the font of the link gets bigger. It will go back to regular size if you click on another link within the scroll, but then that next link you just clicked on, it's font will get bigger. Any suggestions on how to get the links within the scroll to stay the same size when they are clicked on?

So you've sent us a working example in which we cannot see the problem you're experiencing. A lot of help that was. Now try to re-read Cory's message and send us the CSS you use on the site. You know, that one where you insert this terrible marque element in. That one that was done by FrontPage. Ewww.

Just to remind you, the <marquee> tag is ONLY visible with IE, which means a growing percentage of Internet users won't see whatever you're trying to do anyway.

You probably have some CSS to increase the font size of an A element that is active or focused.

Trollacious is right. I forgot that only IE browsers is only visible w/ the <marquee> tag, and since this site is for the Lung Association...this will not be the best route. Maybe I should use an applet or something. Any other suggestions?

Use JavaScript, but see if you can get a script that uses static text placed on the page - but scrolls if javascript is enabled.
That way, non JS browsers will also get to read the text.
Hmm.. an idea for a new script comes to mind ;o)

That's just putting the static text inside <noscript> tags.
