7.3:H207002 Avoid scrolling text created by the MARQUEE element.

Improper design

The use of marquee to reveal text style and contents.

Improper design:

  <MARQUEE BGCOLOR="YELLOW" BEHAVIOR="SLIDE">
  <FONT size="5em">
  <STRONG>Be aware that Wei-wei typhoon will enter Taiwan from Hua-Lian region</STRONG></FONT>
  </MARQUEE> 
          

Proper demonstration

We can use EM label or the motion text gif file or the APPLET to replace marquee label.

Proper example:

  <EM><FONT size="5em">Be aware that Wei-wei typhoon will enter Taiwan from Hua-Lian region</FONT></EM>
          

Proper example:

  <APPLET code="RainbowText.class" codebase="script/" width="80%" height="40" 
  align="baseline" alt="Be aware that Wei-wei typhoon will enter Taiwan from Hua-Lian region">
  <param name="text" value="Be aware that Wei-wei typhoon will enter Taiwan from Hua-Lian region">
  </APPLET>
