What Is A Marquee?The marquee tag is a non-standard HTML element which causes text to scroll up, down, left or right automatically. The tag was first introduced in early versions of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, and was compared to Netscape’s blink element, as a proprietary non-standard extension to the HTML standard with usability problems. In simple The HTML tag is used for scrolling piece of text or image displayed either horizontally across or vertically down your web site page depending on the settings.Why To Use?Marquee can be distracting.The human eye is attracted to movement,and marquee text is constantly moving. So you can add your desired text on which you want to garb your visitor attention first like some hottest news of your site or some offers or anything you want to show your visitor at there first sight to your page.Some Problems And Solutions:Because marquee text moves, links within it are more difficult to click than those in static text, depending on the speed and length of the scrolling. Users only get one chance every time it scrolls past. This can easily frustrate users. Good design keeps links and critical information out of scrolled texts or puts another static copy of each somewhere else always onscreen and keep scrolls with links (like site or general news updates) very brief (not more than two or three virtual screen lengths maximum at a good speed like the default of 10) so that they repeat quickly. Also, scrolling text too fast can make it unreadable to some people, particularly those with visual impairments. Speed settings above default should be avoided for relaying readable text. There are many legitimate reasons to use or avoid use of the marquee tag. Web authors need to have the good sense to know when either case is present.Attributes:AttributeValueDescriptionbehaviorscrollslidealternateDefines the type of scrolling, slidind and back & froth moving.bgcolorrgb(x,x,x)#xxxxxxcolornameDeprecated– Specifies the background color.directionupdownleftrightDefines the direction of scrolling the content.heightpixels or %Defines the height of marquee.hspacepixelsSpecifies horizontal space around the marquee.loopnumberSpecifies how many times to loop.
