I understand this is an older post back from 2006, and yes the good OLD marquee tag has been deprecated.. That's what got me to this page, because like hawkwind, The marquee does have usable uses and as of Jan 2009, it appears to work in all major browsers.. With that stated, I cant for the life of me see why this tag by some web designers is so hated.. Most of the nonsense arguments I have read here and at the W3c is still not a GOOD argument to hate such a tag unless you just clearly hate its original simplicity.. It does give you ample attributes to give the dam thing some controllable abilities! Let's face it, the tag lived quite well before all the new dynamic web page changes come into effect to make browser more fit for the new age, but I have sparingly used marquees quite effective with my family website for scrolling member birthdays, and scrolling members who are online... So marquees does have a place for websites and design.. If you're marketing a web page, then maybe this want be the best idea of a tag for you, but to say it is a trash tag is nonsense.. That's a Personal Issue if you ask me.. And as hawkwind stated, just because is is denounced as deprecated doesn't make the tag the worst thing in life :).. Let's face it, I can bet many of you growlers have a couple of tags you liked to use that are now deprecated as well..RIGHT? Bottom line, it's not up to a few web designers, and W3c as well, to determine if a tag will work well for a designers website or not, there's different strokes for different folks.. If the tag pulled too many browser resources to do what it does, then that would be more confining to a hated tag, just as we are encouraged to use CSS in place of the right now Font tags etc.. (And let me State that CSS is great for replacing the older font attribute coding). IMO... have a good year..
