Hover Over to Pause Marquee

I want to create a Marquee that scrolls some news articles but when the user hovers over it I need it to pause and when the user hovers out of it (onMouseOut) I need to ti start back up. This did not work:

<marquee onMouseOver="this.stop()" onMouseOut="this.start()">Text</marquee>

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can achieve this in a minimal amount of code?

I'm only anwering this out hilarity because I havent seen anyone use the marquee tag in YEARS

Had to look it up, but the marquee tag has an attribute called "scrollamount" which controls how fast it goes. So all we need to do is set the value to 0 when we hover in and set it back to 5 when we mouse out.

DEMO: http://jsfiddle.net/U9yFj/

$(function() {
    $('marquee').mouseover(function() {
        $(this).attr('scrollamount',0);
    }).mouseout(function() {
         $(this).attr('scrollamount',5);
    });
});

I hope I get mad upvotes for this

<marquee onmouseover="this.stop();" onmouseout="this.start();">
my text here
</marquee>

You're using wrong case: onMouseOver,onMouseOut

<marquee behavior="scroll" scrollamount="5" direction="left" onmouseover="this.setAttribute('scrollamount',0);" onmouseout="this.setAttribute('scrollamount',5);">
 Your name, your address, your details scrolling through line
</marquee>

Hope this code will help someone who is use MARQUEE tag.

<marquee id="mq" direction="right" loop="true" onmouseover="this.stop();" onmouseout="this.start();">
    <a href="http://google.com">Google</a>
    <input type="text" id="txt" />
    <input type="button" id="btn" value="Click here" onclick="alert(txt.value);" />
    Some other text here</marquee>

<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="left" onmouseover="this.stop();" onmouseout="this.start();">
    Go on... hover me (and hold the mouse over)!
</marquee>

You can simply use the HTML marquee markup with
