There are known compatibility issues with the Scrolling Text Generator and Mozilla Firefox. The scrolling text generator takes advantage of a tag built for Internet Explorer 4+ called the "Marquee" tag. A marquee functions as demonstrated below:
The Code:"<marquee>The text here will scroll across the screen.</marquee>"
Demo:
This tag is not a part of HTML 3.2, and therefor will not function properly in all browsers. It really was only intended to be used in Microsoft Internet Explorer to begin with. Because of this, browsers like Mozilla Firefox do not display the marquee correctly. For accessibility reasons, the marquee text scroller should really never be used. If scrolling text must be used, it's been stated that javascript should be used to create the effect, with the ability to stop scrolling if needed.
Because MySpace does not grant users the priviledge of using such scripting, the scrolling text generator is limited to only providing marquee powered scrolling text. Therefor, the code generated may only function properly in IE4+
