I want to put a scroll for some dynamic contet on my webpage, but I do not know how.
I tried putting it inside a textarea but that did not work. Is there any way I cuould put a scroll here(scroll down to where it says [Scroll]):

while($send_array = mysql_fetch_array($send_query)){
$send_eMail = $send_array['eMail'];
$employee_query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM employee_info WHERE eMail='$send_eMail'");
$employee_array = mysql_fetch_array($employee_query);
$firstName = $employee_array['firstName'];
$lastName = $employee_array['lastName'];
$country = $employee_array['country'];
if($send_eMail != $eMail){
echo "
<tr>
<td style='padding-top: 10px'>
//--------------Scroll---------------//
<a href='profile.php?site=info&self=0&q=" . $send_eMail . "'>" . $firstName . " " . $lastName . "</a>
//--------------Scroll---------------//
</td>
</tr>";
}
}

This looks more like PHP code to me than HTML. You might want to fix your topic name :)

You could use: "<marquee></marquee>", <select><option/></select> (use in forms), or you could create an iframe.

you can use a javascript timer and innerText
Code: 
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>

<div id="scoll1"> &nbsp;a </div >
static


<script>
var timeHandle = -1;
timeHandle = setTimeout("scrollFn()",500);//milliseconds
var iScrolPos = 0;
var  scrolTxt = "Ok this is what you will see scrolling - though is scrolling what u want? I dont like scrolls"
//alert(scoll1p = document.getElementById("scoll1"));
//alert(scoll1p.innerText  + " timeHandle " + timeHandle);

function scrollFn(){

	scoll1p = document.getElementById("scoll1");

	if(iScrolPos == scrolTxt.length )iScrolPos=0;
	//alert("a");
	scoll1p.innerText = scrolTxt.substring(iScrolPos++) + " " + scrolTxt.substring(0, iScrolPos) ;

	//alert(scoll1p.innerText  + " timeHandle " + timeHandle);

	//if(iScrolPos <4)
	timeHandle = setTimeout("scrollFn()",500);//milliseconds
}


function ClearScrollFn(){
if(timeHandle > 0)
	clearTimeout(timeHandle );
	timeHandle =0;
}
</script>
Edit:
i'm not calling ClearScrollFn but u can on a button click or after a set period

Code: 
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>

<div id="scoll1"> &nbsp;a </div >
static
<input type=button onclick="ClearScrollFn()" value="Stop">

<script>
var timeHandle = -1;
timeHandle = setTimeout("scrollFn()",500);//milliseconds
var iScrolPos = 0;
var  scrolTxt = "Ok this is what you will see scrolling - though is scrolling what u want? I dont like scrolls"
//alert(scoll1p = document.getElementById("scoll1"));
//alert(scoll1p.innerText  + " timeHandle " + timeHandle);

function scrollFn(){

	scoll1p = document.getElementById("scoll1");

	if(iScrolPos == scrolTxt.length )iScrolPos=0;
	//alert("a");
	scoll1p.innerText = scrolTxt.substring(iScrolPos++) + " " + scrolTxt.substring(0, iScrolPos) ;

	//alert(scoll1p.innerText  + " timeHandle " + timeHandle);

	//if(iScrolPos <4)
	timeHandle = setTimeout("scrollFn()",500);//milliseconds
}


function ClearScrollFn(){
if(timeHandle > 0){
	alert("c");
	clearTimeout(timeHandle );
	timeHandle =0;

	scoll1p = document.getElementById("scoll1");
	scoll1p.innerText = scrolTxt;
	}
}

/*
or u can have a seperate stopper timer

setTimeout("ClearScrollFn()",12500);//put this outside the comment

*/
</script>

If I were you I'd use marque because it's a simple code and you can do a lot with it. It would also stand out from the PHP so if you ever need to go back to edit it you could find it easy.
