Marquee script question

I love the Dynamic Drive cross browser marquee script. I'd like to
make the text loop immediately after completion, so the beginning runs
right after the end (does that make sense?). Could anyone tell me how
to do this?

Here's the link: http://www.calicosystems.com/pilla/index1.htm

Here's the code:

<script language="JavaScript1.2">

//Specify the marquee's width (in pixels)
var marqueewidth="750px"
//Specify the marquee's height
var marqueeheight="15px"
//Specify the marquee's marquee speed (larger is faster 1-10)
var marqueespeed=2
//configure background color:
var marqueebgcolor="#E0BC98"
//Pause marquee onMousever (0=no. 1=yes)?
var pauseit=1

//Specify the marquee's content (don't delete <nobr> tag)
//Keep all content on ONE line, and backslash any single quotations
(ie: that\'s great):

I used to use marquees, but removed them because my Users got sick of them
:-). I had a news update banner, in which i repeated the same thing about 20
times. Im sure there is a proper way to do this though.

Thanks Joe, not my choice to use the marquee, customer wants it.
Maybe someone knows of another script that doesn't leave the "blank"
area between start and finish? Or ust an adjustment of this nice
script that would do it?

Thanks,

Jo
