Does anyone know what other alternate code that I could use to pass the validation for the marquee code?
When there are marquee codes in a page, the validation would fail. Any ideas?

If you want to see for youself and get depressed and annoyed about it too, check it out:

I think that the marquee tag was deprecated. Depends on your DTD.

The marquee tag isn't a tag at all, really. It more like... Browser slang. I can't think of a better term. >.<"

There is no replacement for the <marquee> tag that is legitimate HTML. You can use Flash, but that'd probably be overkill. Best idea is to design the site without marquee text.

Hmm.. Alright thank you ^-^

I trid using javascript scrollers, but it didn't work, because my iframe is too small and somehow while using javascript, the scroller is about 2 lines off from where it should be on the page; making it inexistent ^^;;
well thanks though :)
