I did something like this:

<table ...blah>
<tr>
<td>
<table ..>
<marquee direction=right>
<td> blahblah</td>
<td> blahblah</td>
</marquee>
</table>

other stuff...
</td></tr></table>

Basically tables in tables making a picture scene (see profile for web url if interested, it's the ballpark scene)

The problem is this: In mozilla it works fine, but IE 5, for some odd reason, is adding a <BR> before it does the marquee, as when I remove the marquee but leave that table there, it works fine. It wouldn't be a problem except I am using picture positioning using "style" and it's throwing everything out of alignment. Any ideas why marquee is doing this and any way to fix it? Thanks

nm, it seems IE adds a <br> after a <TD> if followed by a <TABLE> - bug or I'm not doing this stuff right smile

You cannot have <marquee> directly inside <table>.

It must be inside <td>, or outside <table>.

Run the page through http://validator.w3.org/detailed.html

Yeah I figured that out when it stopped working smile I had it done the right way before, but when trying to fix the IE problem I screwed it up - fixed now though, thanks.

I've used that validator in the past and it always finds problems with my code as I use "outdated coding" so it always finds flaws. Slowly as I learn I fix things.
