Dreaded Return of the Marquee Tag!

'mike' on Fri, 25 Feb 2005 12:56:10 GMT, sez:

I am amused (bemused? interested?) to see that Firefox almost displays the marquee text -- I don't see the ad itself -- just a blank spot where IE otherwise shows it -- but I have yellow scrolling text *below* the Tech Ed ad. What one might term half-assed support for marquee tags, perhaps ...

Firefox is slipping behind.

It'd better improve it's marquee support or risk being left in the dark ages.

hahaha, yes because firefox will fail because it cant support Marquee tags
</sarcasm>
I think it might take a lil more than that, n e way Marquee isnt actually HTML, its microsoft code that they made up, only it doesnt really look that great

<common sense>
To say marquee's don't look great is subjective - sometimes if they are used correctly they have a place - the fact is, Firefox should find a way to make them work correctly.

also useful for rss scrolling and most modern browsers do support it. Only the w3c validator complains lol.

You can run a marquee in FireFox
if you idiots code it correctly.

Firefox still has issues with marquee though. Specially if you include images in it, within a cell. Will make other pictures of other cells jump around as the image marquees out of the cell its in. They've still got some fixing to do with it. That is for sure.

My site has a "marquee behavior = "alternate"" tag on it, and it won't work at all in Firefox. It is fine in IE, and even if I get rid of the alternate it still won't work in Firefox. It just displays the text. Take a look at http://xanga.com/smmalis.

Ya, Same, "Alternate" doesn't work in FireFox. load the same page in IE7 and all is good.
