[Javascript] JS Marquee Scroller Question

[Flávio Gomes]

A simple way I tried and worked well, for image only "marquees", is to 
scroll the background-position.

set in css:
  background-repeat: repeat-x;
  background-image: url(images/myMarquee.jpg);

and go incrementing (or decrementing) background-position


There's an attached example.

IE6/Mozilla tested

Bad news: Work only with image. And only one image.

Ps.: It took me longer than I tought to write these few lines of code.. 
t___t
     I'm getting old.. O_O!!!
