Move text continuously?

I'm making a news-box or whatever it's called :P

The thing is I need to move the text up continuously, In Google I found the "marquee" HTML but I'm not sure this is the best way to do what I want.

What's the best option ??

Solution

  • Well, I found this code. I think it's too much for what it does, but it works !!
