You have probably seen dozens of pages with a scrolling text ticker down at the bottom in the status area. Besides being hard to read, these tend to block out the usual status messages associated with cursor actions.
The Java applet marquees and tickers are much better, but they take awhile to load and won’t run on all platforms. However, you can enjoy the best of both worlds by creating a JavaScript marquee that’s both readable and quick to load.
