How to see the scrolling text sooner

Hi I have used the rolling/scrolling text box and reduced the size to 287px x 75px to fit in near the header.

Code:

<div align="center" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 18px; color: #D62E2D;">
<marquee bgcolor="#ffffff" scrollamount="2" direction="up"  loop="true" width="100%">
<strong>TEXT <br>TEXT<p>TEXT <p>TEXT<br>TEXT<p> TEXT<br>TEXT <br>TEXT</strong>
</marquee></font>
</div>

When you load the page there's about 4 secs time delay before the rolling text is visible,
is there a way of reducing the white gap so the text almost becomes a continuous scroll.

Thanks in advance and thanks for a great site, every time I search for help in Google I arrive back here....

Hi Russ,

I'm sorry but I don't think there is.

Not sure but I guess the problem is that it first loads the page and only after it loaded the page it loads the HTML Snippet containing the code for the scrolling. Did you try putting the code into the page itself instead of in an HTML Snippet or making the page lighter?
