flowing words

[Vinnie]

using Flash it's easy to create a small textbox, and let the news to
flow i.e. from right to left.

I was wondering if there is something in asp.net 2.0 C#, to create
anything like that.

<MARQUEE>
<asp:Label id=....>
</MARQUEE>

Wrong answer. The marquee tag is proprietary to IE, and is not part of any
standard. It will not work in many browsers. The alternatives are
JavaScript, Flash, etc.

Correct.

It will not work in many browsers.

Such as...?

Netscape ( unless in IE mode... )
In Opera the stop/start commands don't work.

Also, search engine's robots will ignore your marqueed content.

Bottom line : the effect won't be visible in all web browsers.

There's Javascript solutions which, almost, work like the marquee tag:

....but, again Netscape and Opera have problems with it.

To me, using the marquee tag is no better than using the <blink> tag. ( Ugh! )

Thanks for that.

Oh indeed - I couldn't agree more...!

Netscape 9 drops support for IE mode and is now Gecko only, which is
working with the <marquee> tag.
