scrowling letters

[+tub lake]

How do you put scrowling, moving letters on a cache page.

I have seen it on some cache pages and said i would like to be able to do that.

 

Thanks, Tub Lake.

Got an example??

 

HTML tidy should strip that away from any newer caches.

I think there are better ways to make an impact on your cache page than scrolling letters. I think you'll find that most people don't like them. You can change some colors or fonts with HTML and make an impact that way. Of course, that's my opinion and the opinions of a lot of other folks I've talked to, and you can do what you want with your own cache page.

Scrolling Text

 

You may have gathered from previous responses that using it won't make your caches more popular. Personally, I find anything that moves or blinks to be just plain annoying.

[+Team GPSaxophone]

Scrolling letters/words on cache pages may be fine but what happens when you print the page? It certainly won't look the same on paper or on many GPSrs that can show cache descriptions. I typically don't view cache pages anywhere but on my Colorado so all the work you did trying to turn your page into Las Vegas is lost.]

+1 on scrolling, but -1 on using colors and fonts, for the same reasons not to use the scroll.

 

Just in case you really really still want to scroll, the tag you want is <marquee>Text</marquee> and I just tested it, HTML Tidy leaves it alone, so it does work.

Colors and fonts are much better if done correctly. I do agree that some people use garish fonts and colors, and it's just as annoying as scrolling, but not if you're careful about what you're doing and tasteful. Feel free to browse some of my cache pages if you want an example.

Please don't. We've come a long way since Geocities in 1995 and we don't need to bring back the supremely annoying HTML tags from the day (marquee and blink).

 

I actually get pretty annoyed by cache pages that use obnoxious anything. Judicious use of text size, color, and formatting is okay, but I primarily use HTML on my cache pages in order to arrange text and graphic elements. Most of the text on my cache pages is in simple Arial or Times 10-12pt font. A puzzle cache has a little more leeway where you might use the HTML on the cache page as part of the puzzle (and where you will be working to figure it out at home before you go into the field, anyway).

[+the4dirtydogs]

We like the scrolling banners for the FTF. I think it's a great idea. Give it try. Better than nothing on the cache page.

[AZcachemeister]

I don't.

I wish you wouldn't either.

How do you put scowling, letters on a cache page.

 

Just use a lot of and but not

[GOF and Bacall]

Would someone please fix the thread title here? It hurts my brain trying to read it.

[Pup Patrol]

If you want to use it on your cache page, then you should just go ahead and do it.

 

I don't like it either, but it's YOUR cache page. Do whatever makes YOU happy.

 

I am soooo tired of landing on websites and blogs where everything moves and blinks and flashes and there's all sorts of videos scrolling. Yes, there's still lots of them out there.

 

And the ones that have the cursor be something cute...ugh. 1995, indeed. Makes me want to dope-slap somebody.

 

I tend to lop the overly animated sites off my bookmark list pretty quickly.

[knowschad]

I don't.

I wish you wouldn't either.
