FireFox Equivalent of a Marquee Tag?

Further to my YAXS announcement here can anyone tell me whether there's a way of creating scrolling texts (like those seen using the marquee tag) that are compatable with FireFox and other non-IE browsers?

The Marquee Module uses the marquee html tag (which was created by Microsft for IE) and does not appear to be 100% compatible with FF. This is from experience and from what I've read over the last few days.

I'm thinking along the liunes of some DHTML or JavaScript. The best thing I've found so far is AJScroller by
HotScripts.com but you have to pay money to get rid of the adds which I don't want for just one scrolling list.

Thanks

Ted

Check out this link. Do you notice the News on the right?

If you like it take a look at the source code and you'll see how it is done.

Cheers,

Yes, I am liking a great deal!! However, I can't make out how it's done when i view the source. Are you able to PM it or post it here?

I'd be much obliged!

Thanks

The "marquee" div has an ID that is used in the included JavaScript file:

"When you can flatten entire cities at a whim, a tendency towards quiet reflection and seeing-things-from-the-other-fellow's-point-of-view is seldom necessary."
