<marquee>

[Dirk Mueller]

Hi, 

while we don't support all the scrolling fun of <marquee>, we should at least 
show the text. some pages contain important information in this tag (like 
ebay articles). 

The old problem, why the display: none hack was committed, is that <marquee> 
never produces more than one line of text, and if the text was wrapped into 
multiline, it destroyed the layout of some pages (which used <marquee> in 
very small table rows). 

This is not fully correct though, since there is no way to reference the 
actual line height. it might be able to improve it by adding

marquee:first-line { visibility: show; }
marquee { visibility: hidden; }

but that doesn't seem to work in our tree. 

marquee {
        display: block;
        height: 1.2em;
        position: relative;
        overflow:hidden;
}


comments, better ideas?
