Ok thanks!
Before I knew this, I used marquee a lot in my pages. On my computer, which is a PC, the text that was placed in a marquee moved correctly. What I mean is only the text between the opening and closing marquee tags moved. This was the same when I saw the page on other PC's. However, when I viewed my website on a Mac, the entire page was moving. Is the reason because it is not a real W3C specification, and if I used Javascript it would work?
EDIT: I should also say what the browswer was. That may be the true reason.
1st PC - IE. I'm not sure which version - I think IE7
2nd PC - Mozilla Firefox
Mac - Safari
I should also add that on the 1st PC, which is my computer, the font is displayed in a smaller font than the second PC. And my computer is larger! Can I control this using CSS?
