Marquee On Free Site

Licker4U · 2006-09-13, 07:01 AM

I saw in another thread that a link list owner either rejects or doesn't like to see marquee's and blinking text on pages. Anyone around that rejects sites for having marquee's or blinking text on a page?

I wouldn't say I'd universally reject all sites using these. I'd have to decide site by site I think. As a free site builder myself, it would be nice to have some blinking text used in moderation on some sites but unfortunately I think some might go overboard.

Ladydesigner said it, "in moderation". I look at the total noise/content ratio, but I seldom reject a site because it's too flashy. I might send the submitter a polite note if my eyes start hurting.

I'd have to see it & I think it'd be on a case by case basis.

I was thinking, what would you use to create this marquee? It isn't just html anymore, is it?

It think Licker4U is referring to <MARQUEE> tag. I mean - I hope he does!

Yep, and since JS is pretty much outlawed

blinking text would have to be made as a gif, but I don't know how

Anyone want to post a tutorial?

You can BLINK with CSS:
STYLE="text-decoration: blink;"
but it doesn't work in Internet Explorer - only Mozilla.

I have actually seen the marquee tag used before and I believe I approved it because it was from a quality submitter and it wasn't overboard.

And I can think of at least one LL who has a marquee written into their recips, so the tag is not banned altogether.

Guilty as charged LOL

I also have 1 or 2 quality submitters that get approved who use scrolling text because they dont go overboard.

No problems with marquee/scrolling/blinking here either...as long as it's not overdone
