I'm trying to use a marquee in a header on my LiveJournal that will stop when the viewer's mouse hovers over it. I've seen this done as news or headline tickers on websites. (Note: I do not want the marquee tag that has the text stop to one side... I want the text to marquee as usual, only stopping on a mouseover.)

I used the following code:
<marquee onMouseover="this.scrollAmount=0" onMouseout="this.scrollAmount=2">Hover your mouse over this to make it stop!</marquee>

but it looks like this when I use it:

Hover your mouse over this to make it stop!

The text doesn't stop moving as I have commanded it to in the tag. I've been to many HTML websites to see if I'm doing anything wrong, but I can't see any difference between my code and theirs.

I'm able to view this kind of marquee perfectly on other sites, stopping the text on mouseover and everything... is it just a LJ incompatibilty? Please help me!

Thanks in advance.
