No specification published by the W3C includes this element, which is not part of HTML. I'm not aware of any third party DTDs which include it, although they might exist. Your choices are: * Don't use <marquee> and avoid scrolling text. * Don't use <marquee> and simulate it in JavaScript * Find a DTD that includes it * Write a DTD that includes it * Accept that your Document won't validate. I suggest the former. Tickers were invented to display a large amount of information in a small area without user interaction. Webpages are not small, and (typically) can have user interaction (e.g. scrollbars), so scrolling text is merely something which distracts the eye from whatever it is trying to focus on. -- David Dorward http://dorward.me.uk
