notice: my marquee is a literal(componenet) and I put my text with marquee tags inside the literal do you have any idea about this problem thanks alot

As noted by phoenix, in the comments to the question, don't use the <marquee> tag. If you're able to go with a jQuery solution there's quite a few news-tickers on offer, including this one: jq-liscroll/scrollanimate.html.

Edited, it might be worth taking a read of this thread for insights into some of the problems/solutions related to news tickers: What's a good bit of js or jQuery for a horizontally-scrolling news ticker?

Edited, in response to the OP's question in the comments.

Using jQuery and Ajax doesn't seem to be particularly difficult or contra-indicated, if you look at the results page for 'jQuery + ajax' there's a significant number of results, suggesting that the two go together. Admittedly, the number of results may indicate difficulties, too. But I'm afraid I can't help much, since I've never tried to couple the two together. Or used Ajax at all so far...sorry.
