The CSS WG published a Candidate Recommendation for the Marquee module:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/CR-css3-marquee-20081205/
The module specifies the properties that control the "marquee" effect, a
kind of overflow handling where content that is too large moves
automatically in and out of view, without the need for a scrollbar.
There are properties for, e.g., the direction and the speed of the
movement.
The module is primarily targeted at mobile phones, where this effect is
more common than on desktop browsers. Indeed, the CSS Mobile Profile[1]
depends on this module.
A Candidate Recommendation is a specification that is considered stable
enough for implementation, but not yet sufficiently tested to become a
Recommendation. In other words, a CR is a "call for implementations."
So we're asking for feedback, especially implementation feedback. The
place, as usual, is this mailing list, <www-style@w3.org>. Please,
prefix the subject of messages with "[css3-marquee]" as I did on this
message. The CR period will last until June 2009, or longer if
necessary.
Meanwhile, the working group will collect a test suite. If you have any
tests to contribute, please send them to <public-css-testsuite@w3.org>
(archived[2]).
