W3c.org compatible marquee?

[macinyart]

I have a client who really, really likes the scrolling marquee on his index page. Of course, W3c doesn't support "marquee". Is there a utility that will validate with them and still scroll text on the page? Second point. Is it necessary to have the doctype statement on each page of the site? I look forward to hearing from you on this forum, thanks in advance. I plan to submit the site for evaluation to this group, but at this time the W3c validator doesn't like the transitional statement....I would guess due to the presence of the marquee. Comments? Thanks.

I believe the only way to scroll text and have it validate would be to use javascript or flash. However, as I personally loathe scrolling text on sites, I don't know of any specific scripts that will do this. A Google search for javascript scroll text should get you what you need though if nobody has suggestions.

As far as the doctype, yes it does need to be specified on each page of the site. There is no global setting, and this tells the browser which mode to use when processing the page.
