Thanks for the warning HAL Because text within a marquee is not always visible, it violates the basic nature of web pages, which are eminently skimmable Users typically glance over a page and decide what, if anything, to read (using headlines, bold text, bullets, etc.), but marquees, like the, hide text at certain points, meaning at any given time, scanning the page may fail (or take longer).Links within marquees are notoriously difficult to click, and users only get one chance every time it scrolls past. This can easily frustrate users.
