A site for generating marquees.
The coolest generator is here:

http://www.htmlmarquee.com/boxes.html

I'm still tinkering with it, but it's basically using PHP and JavaScript to generate marquees.

That would be a whole lot better if it created proper cross browser marquees instead of using the proprietary non-standard marquee tag. After all a proper marquee is mostly written in JavaScript and has way more options of what you can have it do than that tag which only works in one or two browsers. Most of the JavaScript would be the same between the different versions so it wouldn't really be any more complex than what you already have, it would just be producing slightly more code that works in hundreds of additional browser versions.

Thanks for the critique Felgall, you are right of course...

So far, the page is getting very little traffic, so it is another exercise in semi-futility... :)

If it gets traffic, I will add the JavaScript the way you suggested. It is not much more difficult. I have found that to generate javascript just takes an additional bounce off the server, otherwise no big deal.

Thanks for having a gander!
