HTML <marquee> tag

[Wizard13335]

I used to use the marquee tag for many things on my website, but since I have heard from many resources that they are "dreaded," I switched all my marquee tags to the cross-browser marquee script. But I have not yet found out: Why are they so dreaded? Is it because many browsers don't support them?

Thanks in advance, I've been wondering for a while.

I switched all my marquee tags to the cross-browser marquee script.

That really isn't any better.

But I have not yet found out: Why are they so dreaded? Is it because many browsers don't support them?

No, it's the whole concept.

As I participated in a discussion on the issue last March in the comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html (ciwah) newsgroup, I won't repeat the reasons. You can read them yourself.

Thank you for telling me where to find the info. I have now added a link to view the content without a marquee. I believe that is sufficient enough.

Again, thank you.
