How do I get something to scroll and stop on mouseover ?

I have the following that I recieved from this support forum . So far I have been unsuccessful in getting scrolling text to stop on mouse over . Now I have forgotten how to even get the text to scroll . I don't know if there are two codes below , where to place the text , and what kind of widget will scroll . 

hello @azwiz,

It depends, which widget would you like to scroll ? While we're on the topic, you can also create custom widgets that scroll content using the <marquee> element. Add this to a widget if you like :
Code:   Select Content
<marquee direction="up" scrollamount="2">
  <div onmouseover="this.parentNode.setAttribute('scrollamount','0')" onmouseout="this.parentNode.setAttribute('scrollamount','2')">Mouse over to stop me !</div>
</marquee>

You can replace the following in the code above with whatever you like.
Code:   Select Content
  <div onmouseover="this.parentNode.setAttribute('scrollamount','0')" onmouseout="this.parentNode.setAttribute('scrollamount','2')">Mouse over to stop me !</div>

Hello @azwiz,

See if this code works for you :

Code:

<marquee scrollamount="3" direction="up" onmouseover="this.setAttribute('scrollAmount','0')" onmouseout="this.setAttribute('scrollAmount','3')">
  I'm scrolling up !
  <br/>
  <br/>
  You can place whatever content you want in here.
</marquee>

You'll see the following attributes :

scrollamount="3" : the 3 between the quotes defines the speed of the scrolling. If you want it to be slower use a lower number such as 1, and to make it faster use a higher number such as 7. 0 stops the scrolling.

direction="up" : this defines the direction of the scrolling. Currently it's set to up, so the text will scroll up. You can use some of the following values : up, down, left, right.

You'll also see onmouseover and onmouseout. These are event handlers that execute JavaScript when your cursor enters and exits the <marquee> element. We're using setAttribute to manipulate the scrolling, because browsers like Firefox seem to have dropped support for the stop() and start methods.

Anyway, you only need to change one thing for onmouseout which is this 3 inside this.setAttribute('scrollAmount','3'). If you change the scrollamount to something other than three, make sure to change this as well.

To make it easy on you, there's also a generator here : http://www.quackit.com/html/html_generators/html_marquee_generator.cfm

Ok I have applied the code . I got text to scroll . The mouse over works , stops the text .
  But
  The text I am trying to sroll is a list of dates and names of people in a chronological order . One date , name , and event per line . It can be consecutive lines or skip a line but not runallininone sentence . When I click save in either mode "switch Editor " The lines automatically jumble together and don't even stay in order . I have tried to recopy and paste them and try it again . It keeps jumbling up . Is there something that I can add to the code to make the text stay as is ?

Try adding some breaks to ensure that each portion is on its respective line. This is the HTML code to create a line break :

Code:

Since you have it with a double break, you would use :
