This is a MS proprietary extension for creating animated text.
Many browsers nevertheless support it. iCab shows its displeasure
by a scowling face! The mark up cannot validate.

And in any case, like in all good evolution, what is designed for
one thing can be used for other things. For example, it can be
used to race cars:

http://netweaver.com.au/alt/marquee/race.html

Just btw, the following can be used to race browsers (I know, it
is usually the cars that race and not the tracks, but there is
always room for other worlds...):

http://netweaver.com.au/alt/marquee/browserRace.html

by opening all your browser and getting all the windows to be
same width, keep height of browsers to a minimum. You need to
start them all off as closely to each other as possible. Not easy
to be perfect here! But it does not matter, you can make an
adjustment in your mind for this.

iCab is slow and jerky, but surprisingly, Mac IE 5 is even more
so! Opera is so smooth! Firefox is the spoilsport and refuses to
run the cars at all. Not the cars, not the alt text and it won't
run text marquee. Camino runs it. Firefox is the only browser
with perfect and aloof integrity. <g>

Of course it can. Validation does not depend on likes and dislikes, or
on sensibility and nonsense. You just need a suitable DTD. You can use
mine if you like, see
http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/html/own-dtd.html#tagsoup

Just it pay off? Your call. But you don't need to let your stupid typos
go undetected just because you're using stupid elements.

According to something I read on the internet:

"<MARQUEE ...> is often regarded as one of the "evil" tags, and
that perception alone might be enough reason to not use it.
However, used lightly and with taste (and understanding that it
will never render everywhere), <MARQUEE ...> isn't such a bad
tag. It can work well for announcements."

In my innocence (I am a visitor to your world, remember) I just
thought it would be very light and tasty as a car race and
browser tester as explained in my post (which you snipped. You
snipped all the good bits Jukka! All the tasteful and juicy bits,
the sensitive and light bits!)

Please use this for no other purpose but to see how different
race tracks affect the speed of the cars:

http://netweaver.com.au/alt/marquee/race.html
http://netweaver.com.au/alt/marquee/browserRace.html
http://netweaver.com.au/alt/marquee/textRace.html

Check out the halting nature of some browsers including Mac IE
and iCab, the smooth elegance of Opera's performance, the mule
like intransigence of Firefox.

Please don't be hard on me. I took a picture of my toy car this
morning especially for this. I would gladly use an Icelandic sled
if you sent me a little model of one for Xmas. Email me for my
address. I am desperate to help you all. Don't reject me.

I didn't snip anything. I simply quoted the part I commented on. This is
normal Usenet practice, indeed normal practice in any commenting in
writing. Deviating from it is a common signal of cluelessness, and I
won't do that no matter how much some people might like to have their
entire postings quoted.

No matter how innocent and sensitive and cool and everything you are,
you presented an incorrect statement "The mark up cannot validate."

> Please don't be hard on me.

I wasn't. Now I am. You just wasted a few minutes of my time with your
pointless babbling, and the time of everyone else who might read this
discussion.

Justice will be served now: I will remind the audience that you made an
incorrect statement about HTML, indicating that you either don't know
what validation is or was very sleepy or sloppy. And you didn't want to
let the discussion drop when your mistake had been friendly explained.

Others have given you code that will work on Firefox(and other)
browsers. At one time marquee or flashing text was used quite a bit.
Then dhmtl was used a lot for special dynamic effects. It could
produce many elaborate effects, but you need to be good at writing
javascript to produce your own code. Today flash seems to be the most
popular method for producing dymanic effects. It requires expensive
programs to get the more elaborate programs for making flash displays,
but many find it much easier to use than dhtml.

A marquee or other dynamic display can have rare uses even on very
serious sites. For instance, the highly secure site for my bank puts
up a big marquee in red letters when there is something new and
unexpected. Part of the site being down, rare scheduled future
downtime, etc can result in the marquee, and I very rarely have seen
it as they usually solve a problem soon and take the marquee down.
When people go to the site to check their bank account, few likely
read the messages that seldom change and go at once to review their
transactions. The red marquee does get your attention.

If you go to http://www.cwdjr.net/dhtml/cuckoobutton.php you will see
a circle marquee. Actually it is dhtml using script and does not use a
marquee tag at all. Much of the code is in php on the server which you
will not see on viewing the source code. Rather simple php code
generates the very long code that gets downloaded to the browser. This
code was written just as a fun thing, and I doubt if I or many others
actually would use it on a general web site.

Yep. Jukka took the words right out of my mouth.

Btw, I notice both yours and rf's 'nom de plume' are both composed entirely
of small letters. You're not mates, are you?

O please, I don't have any particular desire to be quoted. I do
a pretty good job of advertising myself rather disgracefully. And
I am rather loathe these days to argue with you, I have learnt
from you. You are a sort of devil I know. Is that such a terrible
thing to say? You hard boiled egg you... <g>

Look, it is not the "bitter salts" that was so cutely mentioned
about a year ago by a European gent to describe your presence
here that I in any way object to. I do so wish you would not miss
opportunities to use your knowledge to more humbly help lower
beings. In the discussion about validation, for example, in
another thread, I would have loved to hear a summary from you
about the matter instead of the horrible reference to read almost
unreadable descriptions somewhere else. I have a theory which I
will reveal to anyone who asks to say I have a grasp of the
matter that is quite good enough for most practical purposes

There is nothing the slightest bit cool about me. OK I was
sloppy. I was thinking of a larger context believe it or not. I
sometimes dream that you might cut a bit of slack and read
between a line or two and be sort of more charitable. Like, for
example that the use of marquee might occasionally be used in a
context where there was a mass of other things that would greatly
benefit from being under, say, 4.01 Strict, the silly marquee an
addition later.

Another poster has posted an excellent example of a bank that
normally does not put scrolling text up. And now and then, they
slip some in. (I am not endorsing this or suggesting there would
not be other better ways. I am no fan at all of the marquee
except for toy car racing [1]). In any doctype generally worth
using, marquee will not validate. It will not validate! This is
not untrue. It is not clueless. It is set in a more complex
context than you will grant. You are too quick to administer the
bitter salts.

It is a seriously complicated question, your assumption is
incorrect. I am studying your references.

[1] See my previous urls... Jukka, have you secretly been playing
with my toy cars and racing browsers against each other according
to the instructions that I laid down? I guess you would never
admit it!

Of course you do where I am concerned! I know you are always
there, waiting in the wings to pounce on me! I *felt* you unfold
your black wings and stretch your long neck and peer pointedly
down at poor defenceless dorayme stumbling about in the dark,
scratching knees and toes and elbows as it tries to stay upright
among hard-boiled no-nonsense techies, your keen night vision
seeing all and directing your nose to the the least scent of
blood...

There is no need to say it.

Come on Richard, give me a break, I went to some trouble to show
you my toy car racing along. Would your attitude have been
different if it had been one of your toy skiers? Send me one and
I will put it in a marquee race. I really really would.

Just one little question, did you play with my toy cars Richard?
Is it all skiis and tennis with you? Surely not.

You know, the big bike world champ is an Aussie? Show some
loyalty to an Australian marquee car race...

No, but I would defend his use of small letters. You have some
sort of obsessive interest in such things I have noticed. I
recall you being very badly wounded over the issue a while back...

But never mind, both the small and big letters must try to get
along...

dorayme,

When the odd peice of useful you do produce is so diluted with

<snip meaningless drivel>

then

> Come on Richard, give me a break,

why should I?

Where does your meaningless drivel fit into a technical newsgroup? Yes, I
know, it's in the alt heirarchy but even so it is not a bloody chat room.

What?!! I think you are misinformed.

No, it's a constant struggle between them, just like men vs. women. (Er,
naturally, the puny letters are women in this scenario.) However, the bulk
of the diminutive glyph-constructs _do_ know their place and have no
trouble being superceded by their profounder cousins.

O well, was there anything in my first post that was worth more

What about that iCab is slow and jerky, but surprisingly, Mac IE
5 is even more so? That bit was a bit brilliant? No?

Ok, what about that Opera is smooth? That was a pretty big point,
no?

Or that Firefox is the spoilsport and refuses to run the marquee.
Come on! Admit that one!

Or that Camino runs it! Camino!

What about the bit about it being an MS thing? I rather liked
that bit. I thought that bit was sort of relevant to say here. I
must go back and reread that bit.

There was something (perhaps not totally accurate about
validation, the difficulty of validation with it...) At least it
raised the issue. That was good thing to raise, no?

No, I know... Never mind, I will try harder next time. If I ever
succeed in saying anything of any merit, will you join in and
deepen the discussion?

Girl, I was not talking about your first post which was not bad, considering
you were talking about a non-standard element that eveybody hates.

I was talking about the ensuing prattle, including your most recent one, and
followup posts from you in just about every thread you indulge in within
this and every other newsgroup I see you in. You, like any bloody sheila,
need to have the absolute last word, even if it is drivel. Look at the stats
Toby posted this week. Prattle 50, your prattle partner, Mr Ur, 23, all
others 16 or less.

But then again I fear I may be prattling.
