IE8 uses 102% CPU resources and the site srcolls relatively slow! The problem is with 'having a scroller or not' in general and the inefficiency of <marquee> is that is being used for presentation and not content structure! Thanks for your reply Antony, but as 45% of my target users will use IE i need something extra lightweight!!! Found this http://www.talkincode.com/examples/javascript-marquee/horizontal-scroll.html, which looks pretty clean and fast... any proposals much appreciated folks!!!! Thanks a lot!!!
