How about making an image behave like a marquee? It's easy to do. Just use the code below. You can also change the direction of the scroll. It can travel "right" or "left" or "up" or "down" your choice. I also restricted the width to "50%" of this page:
Here's another image effect - add some text:
At last, here's a marquee with an image for a background instead of a solid color. Just put the marquee into a table, like so:
