Greetings to everyone, I prepare a web project (wordpress), where my boss desires a horizontal news ticker scrolling from left to right at the top of my header....!!! It is something i would not propose to anyone to do, but unfortunately i have to do it..
Initially i used the li scroller from http://www.gcmingati.net/wordpress/wp-content/lab/jquery/newsticker/jq-liscroll/scrollanimate.html, which is extremely slow and uses huge CPU resources, especially when using it with IE8, but almost the same thing happens with Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera... I cant figure out if this a .js problem or something to do with wordpress loop (as this is a custom loop which creates an unordered lists of some particular posts). At the same time <marquee> seems to do the job, extremely fast and without 'eating' my CPU's resources!!! I know that the particular html tag is a big NO NO these days and a not semantic element whatsoever... The situation is really tough as i need good performance and at the same time, to only use semantic elements in my code!!! If anyone has been through these problems before or knows anything about it i would really appreciate it!!! Best regards and many thanks to everyone!!! Have a good day. ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [email protected] *******************************************************************
