HTML Marquee Code

lol ave just visited the exact same page via google. ave done a site feed thing thats using marquee. works fine on my pc and firefox but i tested with phone and its dont do anything . so clearly marquee tag is no good.

[Ghost]

its the browser on the phone then. some old browsers dont support the marquee tag.

[nclemale36]

&nspb; use this code then you can get the space , hehe

Yep, or &npbs; or &spbn; or &pbsn; does the same thing. : )))

you dont...
<marquee>slide,scrool,etc</marquee>
is NOT standardized yet... also not W3C valid
same as <blink>use gif image instead </blink>
therefore its actually bad to use those two tags,
it can only cause problems... ;)

i use this code

<div style="display: -wap-marquee; -wap-marquee-loop: 100;  color:#FAD02;"><b>my code to scroll here</b></div>

and it works pretty well im not sure if this is the only way but its the way i found that works well on 99% of mobile browsers

[Edyka]

that is clearly experimental... -wap-marque can't be a standard (only than it would work in 99% of the mobile browsers)

[metulj]

<marquee>i can scrool, i can move up, down, left, right <<== this is ALL wrong</marquee>

let's say few words about this,(like we never did befor...... ?)
this isnt W3C standard <= first problem
this wont work in ALL PC browsers <= second problem
this cannot work in ALL phone browsers <= third problem

the question is...
why even waste time on third problem, if you cant solve the first two of them ?

<blink>you see me, you dont see me... yet i'm useless</blink>

it goes exact same as for marquee tag...

end of conclusion... AVOID those two TAGs at any cause...
they aren't standardized, and therefore bad...
did i mention that both are actually annoying ?
keep the code clean as much as possible...
faster & safer (that should be good enough reason to actually respect that simple fact)
simple as that...

Well... after searching the internet and trying alot of different ways, i found this to work on most wap enabled browsers this is my css for my marquee...

			.marquee {
				background-color: #700404; 
				padding: 2px 2px 2px 2px;
				margin: 3px 0 0;  
				text-align: center;
				border-width:1px 0;
				border-style:solid;
				border-color:#FD7171;
    				display: -wap-marquee;
    				-wap-marquee-style: scroll;
   				 -wap-marquee-loop: infinite;
    				-wap-marquee-speed: slow;
  		      }

It can be edited to suit ones needs but it does the job on pretty old phones, the issue was the normal marquee tag worked on new model phones while it did not work on older phones, now with this code it works on pretty much all wap enabled phones.

and this is my html

<div class="marquee"><b>Bold text to scroll</b></div>

Test it and give me feed back... The best way to better ones code is by trying/failing and sharing thus allowing us to learn. I use opera on pc and a samsung E250 , blackberry 9800 torch, blackberry 8520, motorola v3 to test and it works 100%, but so does the first code i posted here i just wanted to move it to my style.css to make my code neat.
