I've tried Javascript but can't find anything that really does it. Here is the * Marquee: <marquee loop="1" behavior="slide" scrolldelay="50" scrollamount="15" direction="left">This is a bit of text that slides, at least it's not blinking.</marquee> Bascially I just want it to behave in FF as it does in IE. * Yes, I know that using a Marquee is an extreme offence. I know the html will not validate. I also know that it's not going to do a thing for accessablility. No lectures please _____________________________ Sally

If you want them all to behave the same then you're looking at Flash. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype?

I eventually found this script for gliding text that works in FireFox, even after I mucked around with it. _____________________________ Sally (in reply to jaybee)

Scripts are usually pretty safe (as long as your visitor has Javascript enabled) but for completely identical Flash is the way to go. If you're scared of Flash, and lets face it, it's not the most intuitive of things, there are now all sorts of wizard type packages around that make it easy to set up Flash banners and ads. If you use a plain background and sliding text you'd never know the difference between that and a Marquee. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.

That script works well enough for that when they log into the managers section of the Intranet. I think the main reason I want to steer clear of Flash is because I hate it with a passion. Actually I don't hate Flash, just the way it is used (a note to any Flashers, please include a Skip Intro and don't use it just because you can). I browse with it off in FF I may have to look at using it though to pull in bits and pieces from the Manager Group Calander, it would work well for that I guess, even if I would loathe every second I was actually using it as I vowed I never would. _____________________________ Sally (in reply to jaybee)

Entire Flash sites are a pain. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype? (in reply to rubyaim)
