Are there any alternatives to <marquee>? I don't want to use it since it's deprecated. Is there some way to do this in javascript, etc.?

<script type="text/javascript">
function beginrefresh(){
var marquee=document.getElementById("marquee_text");//set the id of the target object
if(marquee.scrollLeft>=marquee.scrollWidth-parseInt(marquee.style.width))marquee.scrollLeft=0 ;
marquee.scrollLeft+=1;
setTimeout("beginrefresh()",10);//set the delay (ms), bigger delay, slower movement
}
</script>
from google dunno if that helps
I found this: http://remysharp.com/2008/09/10/the-...mooth-marquee/
I'm not good with JS so I don't really know how to implement it.
In the the <head>, I put
And in the <body> where I want my marquee to go I putHTML Code:<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="marquee.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$('div.breadcrumb marquee').marquee('pointer').mouseover(function () {
$(this).trigger('stop');
}).mouseout(function () {
$(this).trigger('start');
}).mousemove(function (event) {
if ($(this).data('drag') == true) {
this.scrollLeft = $(this).data('scrollX') + ($(this).data('x') - event.clientX);
}
}).mousedown(function (event) {
$(this).data('drag', true).data('x', event.clientX).data('scrollX', this.scrollLeft);
}).mouseup(function () {
$(this).data('drag', false);
});
});
</script>
I've never used jquery before so I'm not to sure how to implement it.HTML Code:<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="left" scrollamount="2" width="100%">

</marquee>
What's wrong with Marquee, you can set it to go left or right, up or down, it's fine?

It's not xHTML valid plus it's a ***** to click links on a marquee (with JS I can make it stop on mouseover). Also, most browsers don't render it properly (choppy scrolling, etc.)
