    I am using an xHTML transitional doctype, and when I run it through the w3C validator, I get these errors with my marquee:

     Line 34, Column 62: there is no attribute "style"
 Line 34, Column 62: there is no attribute "width"
 Line 34, Column 62: there is no attribute "direction"
 Line 34, Column 106: an attribute specification must start with a name or name token.
    Code (markup):
    All of this is for my marquee.
    
<marquee style="color:#FFFFFF" width="99%" direction="left"">Welcome to BeZDredge, we are currently in development.</marquee>
    Code (markup):
    What is worng with this?

    Thanks,

    BP

    "The marquee element is not part of the HTML specification, so with the marquee element your document will never validate.
    You can use JavaScript instead to achieve the same effect."

    Right. Well, I'll need a JavaScript code for that then :(

    Anyone?

    Cool, thanks. What one is the best for just a standard marquee?

    Thanks,
