I was under the impression that firefox now utilizes, well recognizes the <marquee> tag? Am I wrong in this?

Heres my problem I created a simple gif banner, that I extended beyond the width of my page So that I could use Marquee tags to make it scroll. Simple enough for ie... but the zilla is "marq"tose intolerant still. I have imagined ridiculous "shortcuts" that ultimately end up being all but. Why am I having so much trouble with this? LMAO.

I have also tried to utrilze the code in the css file, but nothing going.

Mozilla recognizes that there is supposed to be something there and sill links the dead area, it just will not display the image.

any thoughts?

<Marquee> is not supported by the w3. It was a tag created by IE.

The only alternative is javascript, flash or an animated gif.

ya i know, what i am trying to get at is that the shortest .js solution (which is taken directly from mozilla) is a folder with 20 odd files.... I was just asking if anyone knew a shorter .js approach. I'm just really picking up .js it just seems so ridiculous. Overkill is the word that comes to mind. I just cant imagine that all .js has to be as complex as mozilla intends to make it.

There are tons of scripts out there you can use (just google marquee script).

Check this one out:

Scroll down to simple marquee (under document effects).

You should consider just making it a flash movie, that would be what I would do.

Which zilla version do you use?
I work with 1.7.12 and i also use the <marquee> function on my site for the "latest forum topics" & "Recent comments".
Without any problems.

This is what i have done
<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="up" scrolldelay="60" 
scrollamount="1" onMouseOver="this.stop()" 
onMouseOut="this.start()">

<-- 
Your html -->
