The Matrix-style binary code, okay or BAD?

I needed some image-like illustration of something to do with IT, found an image of The Matrix characters and thought I might make that binary code and have it drop like it does in the movie. So, should I use the code in my example (with hated MARQUEE tag (usually not a fan myself)), an animated GIF or are there better solutions other then not doing it at all ?

Are there any SEO problems when using MARQUEE (other then the effect it might have on visitors behavior on the website) ?

Solution

  • You can simply use CSS3 transitions with keyframes to animate single <span> elements with your desired text. This would be the modern way. Otherwise an animated image should be good either.

    <marquee> should never be used because it's no standard.

    Edit: See http://jsfiddle.net/yEsw6/ Not perfect but it's the beginning. :)
