I fixed it. Aren't I clever?

no idea how these clever computer types are making text float and move and what-not...

I'm afraid it was a bit of sarcasm in the face of all this technical wizardry and general cleverness; however, after seeing the obvious sincerity of your reply I now feel deeply ashamed of my churlish flippancy.

I'm putting myself on the naughty step. It's the only language I understand.

I don't know what Voodoo you lot are using but wait until you start getting small to large electric shocks off your keyboard followed by a warning message from me in your inbox. I should have it up and running by tomorrow.

Rather enjoying Vampire Weekend, Wavves and a nice bit of Tim Buckley at the moment.

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.

that'll learn me for looking when tired and failing to spot the subtler elements of piss-taking. Something that your (now that I look, extremely familiar) tone should have alerted me to... will vow not to try to be helpful unless well rested and certain that it is what is required ;-)
