Re: [WSG] XHTML Marquee

 Hi Rob,   Normally I'd agree with you, but a Stock Ticker is something of a tradition in the industry and I think the users are used to the idea. Here's what I've put together.   I'd appreciate any comments/suggestions/criticisms... http://www.grafx.com.au/wip/marquee.html   Cheers  :o) Richard   ----- Original Message ----- From: Rob Kirton To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Sent: Thursday, September 07, 2006 6:24 PM Subject: Re: [WSG] XHTML Marquee Richard I would suggest not using Marquee effect if at all possible.  IMHO, finding such code is almost playing the accessibility standards game, rather than making something truly accessible and usable.  Moving images / text will be difficult for some people to read, and if links are embeded, a moving object would be impossible for some to click on; likewise such a link could most likely not be tabbed into. If this is a client request, maybe you can pursuade them not to use this approach an find an alternative.  If it is stock price ticker, I realise that could be very difficult Rob KIrton http://ele.vation.co.uk On 07/09/06, Richard Czeiger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Anyone know where I can find a semantic, unobtrusive, accessible marquee _javascript_? As in a stock price 'ticker' ? If someone's got some code already writeen up, that would be great.
