It is always moving, which means you can't read it as fast as normal captions, plus it's continually distracting from the image. Good captions should be so low-overheard for the viewer that the viewer can entirely forget that he's reading captions in the first place. You simply can't get that effect with rollup captions. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
