onstart Event
Fires at the beginning of every loop of the MARQUEE object.
Syntax

Remarks
Bubbles No Cancels No To invoke
- Set the LOOP attribute to 1 or higher.
- Omit the LOOP attribute so that the MARQUEE loops indefinitely.
Default action Initiates the next loop of the MARQUEE contents. The start method does not cause the onstart event to fire.
