The marquee element uses the loop attribute:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/properties/loop_1.asp
where -1 means that it loops infinitely.
Personally, I prefer that one the most.

Hi,

I think in loopcount="forever" the units do not match (no unit / time).

I would prefer "Infinity" because it is a valid ECMAScript literal
(=1/0).  "Indefinite" (=0/0 ?) looks really strange...

Best regards,
Stefan
