scrolling text? In HTML?

[Joker Boy]

HELP!!! I NEED TO MAKE SCROLLING TEXT (similar to the "x10Hosting will be re-opening on May 1st!" at the top of the forums) ON A SITE FOR THE HOME PAGE WITH THE LATEST UPDATES AND STUFF!!! HOW DO I DO IT???

Some example text would be

"welcome to our site!"

if you could do the coding or show me how to that would be much appreciated, thanks!

<marquee>Welcome to our site!</marquee>

Thats the HTML for it, however I think its not valid code any more but it should still work for you!

kk thnx. just wondering: what good does valid code actually do? Other than making people respect your site more...

In theory valid code should mean you site works with all current browsers. However IE tends to chuck standards out the window: (ActiveX controls anyone?? ;) )

[Zenax]

lol, Im not really fussed about standards i just like to make sure it works!

yeah my javascript only works on FireFox, so I had to make a scrolling marquee saying to download FireFox before continuing on to the site on the home page.

THANKS!
