------------------------
I'm using this tag to scroll through announcements and whatnot
------------------------
Tickers were created to solve a problem:...
The web doesn't have this problem:...
Tickers have nasty side effects:...
<marquee> is "deprecated" in favour of designing for web media.
------------------------

If you really *must* use -or if your client insists on using- a scrolling
ticker, and you have Dreamweaver, you might check out ProjectSeven's GeeWhiz
scroller extension for DW 4-MX-2004.  JavaScript driven, easy to implement
and modify.  Plus it has a "stop" button unlike the nasty "marquee" tag.
Not free, though.
