"marquee"

[MadFly]

How do I make the title of the website scroll from right to left without javascript? is that possible?

That effect is too dynamic for anything BUT Javascript.Although . . . if you kept it small enough, and the message small enough, and didn't use anti-aliasing, you might simulate the effect with an animated gif.

Alternatively you can make a short animation to go at the top, like an animated gif as deidre's dad suggested. Making it in Flash is another idea but if you're not making anything too flashy a gif is probably better.

I'm pretty sure marquee only works in IE.

All you need is all the frames as a .gif file, GIFFY to make the frames transparent and a GIF animtor. Then you have to upload the image.

The <marquee> tag is supported by Opera, Firefox and Internet Explorer (as well as the derived browsers such as Flock, SeaMonkey, etc).You can do this:

<script type="text/javascript">document.write("<marquee> some scrolling text <\/marquee>");</script>

I consider that cheating, tricking the validator doesn't make your page valid.The fact is that as soon as browsers stop supporting it (which is bound to be soon) the code isn't going to work either way.<marquee> isn't part of the HTML specification, and especially now, when mobile browsing is becoming more popular, this isn't going to work.

the Marquee tag is coming back into the w3c specifications for CSS3.http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-marquee/just hit cancel on the password screen to view the linked page.

That's not the tag, that's the style - applicable to any valid element (their example uses a <li>). Neither HTML 5 nor XHTML 2 have the marquee tag as part of their definition (at the moment).
