Safari and the "marquee" tag
A friend, working on a site for our community band society, has included a scrolling marquee to show information about the 'next performance. We've already dealt with the "size" issue (see below)*, but one more annoying issue remains.
When the page is opened in Safari (2.0.4), then jumped to the anchor for Performances, scrolling starts normally, but freezes before the scrolling text reaches the left edge of the page. Clicking the Reload button reloads the page, and scrolling then runs as expected. Also, based on a single trial just now, forcing a fresh load by emptying Safari's cache just before opening the page results in the marquee scrolling normally,
Any cure that can be applied to the page itself?
Current coding is as shown (content differs, tag markers replaced with !-open and !!-close)
!font color="#35D2EA" style="font-size: 15pt"!!
!marquee height="25">content 1 x xxxx xxxxx content2 yyy yyyyy yyyyy -- content2zzzzz zzz zzz zzz</marquee><!--mstheme--></h1!!
Page is at <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://">http://bandemonium.org
Click Concert Band, then click Performances.

*Size issue: MSIE and Firefox will display the scrolling marquee properly with Font and Marquee sizes set to the same value. For Safari, it's necessary to allow some headroom by setting the Marquee size to a higher value than the Font size (as seen in the coding above).
