Adding scrolling text to a webpage (like marquee) that is XHTML complient?

[BigToque]

Can you guys tell me of any decent scripts you use or have seen?

Anyone?

I don't borrow other people's crappy javascript code from sites designed for people who are too lazy to learn how to build a site themselves, so I'd tell you to write one yourself.

Can I just give a preemptive feedback - I absolute hate anything in my browser floating, scrolling, flashing, morphing, or fidgetting in any other way on its own.

I echo lordex' sentiments. Scrollers are really annoying.

If you must, and want to code your own, the general idea is that you put your text in a <span/>, then use javascript timers to change the margin style element of the span every couple of milliseconds.

And if you do do it, be nice and make it a seperate file (not embedded in your html) so that people with adblock can nuke it easily

Site

I have a marquee up right now. I don't really need it, but we have it on our old site so I've got it there for now.

Tell me what you think so far.

edit:

the validators are there just for ease of use. they will be taken off when i'm finished the site

edit 2.

some links wont work as I'm updating them right now (stats, schedule)
