How to Make a Scrolling Marquee in HTML

Ever seen a cool, scrolling text on a website? Do you know how these are made? If not, this article is for you. You can make a marquee any color, scroll any direction, and more.

Steps

1. Open your HTML document, if you haven't already.
2. Where you want your marquee to be, place this code:style="background-color: #000080;" direction="right" loop="20" width="75%">This is a scrolling marquee</marquee>
3. • The style attribute controls the background color for the marquee. Leave the tag out if you don't want one. You should use either a color name, a hexadecimal (hex) value, or a RGB (Red Green Blue) value. A full list of colors and their values can be found here.
   • The style attribute inside the
     tag controls the color of the text. See this list for colors.
   • Change the direction attribute to any direction you want out of the following: right, left, up or down.
   • The loop attribute can be changed to suit your needs - it controls how many times the marquee should loop. If you want it to run continuously, you can leave out this attribute.
   • The text inside the tag and the tag is the bit you need to change to put your text in.
