Hi, i need to set some text scrolling across the top of my web page. I am currently using the <marquee> tag to achieve this, however i find it very jittery / jagedy…
I understand that the <marquee> tag has been around for years now… is there a better system to used… would it be better to use a small js script for this as it would probably scroll the text smoother… if so does anyone have a good script to use, thanks in advance for your help…
[FONT=Verdana]There was a thread about this a few months ago, which you might find helpful:
The <marquee> tag has never been valid and has therefore never been supported by all browsers. The marquee functionality is a behaviour and the behaviour of a web page is supposed to be defined using JavaScript. You can have full control of a marquee’s functionality when you generate that functionality in JavaScript as you are supposed to.
Hi Felgall, do you have any js scripts that would accomplish this… finding it hard to find a robust one online… thanks for your help…
WOW… thanks Stephen… i was most happy to see “A script you wrote several years ago is worth revisiting just to see what changes you might be able to apply to make it better than when you first wrote it.” as a lot of scripts i find on the net are wrote many years ago which always worries me… looking forward to adding this later, thanks 
All working perfectly, however, how do i control the speed of the scroll, thanks again…
