HTML Marquee Tag

What is HTML?

Hypertext Markup Language, or HTML, is the common markup language used for web page creation and design. It defines a web page's fundamental organization and content, including headers, paragraphs, links, pictures, and lists. HTML marks up material with tags, where a tag in the document refers to a particular element or structure.

HTML pages are composed of nested components, each of which contains content or other elements. A simple HTML document, for instance, may include an element that defines the document's metadata (title, character encoding, etc.) 

What is HTML Marquee Tag?

The <marquee> tag of HTML generates a banner-like strip that can either hold a picture or a scrolling text within a web page. Color schemes are very significant for users who wish to create an aesthetic that is pleasing to the eye, and such are not typically considered the most up-to-date methods of web design because of issues to do with both accessibility and usability. In this case, you are able to redefine the behavior of the tag by setting its direction, such as scrolling left, right, up or down, frequency, start delay, and mouse over setup, among other properties.

A <marquee> element can make a page look fanciful, while it is generally supposed to disappear by modern principles of web design. In a nutshell, really fast scrolling texts or graphics, which may not be necessarily unpleasant, make viewers distracted, and they can't pay attention to different contexts. Besides, HTML5 does not incorporate <marquee> tag, and the functionality of this is differently realized in diverse browsers.

Attributes

1. Direction: This property indicates the direction in which the content should scroll. To have the content scroll horizontally from right to left, for example, put it to the left; to do the opposite, set it to the right. Similarly, the material will scroll vertically when you move up and down.
2. Behavior: The behavior property determines how the content scrolls. When the scroll value is set, the content constantly scrolls in the designated direction. Conversely, alternative causes the material to scroll back and forth inside the marquee box, while slide causes it to slide into view and then stop.
3. scrollamount: This property indicates how quickly the information scrolls. The scrolling speed increases with increasing value. Usually, this number is expressed in pixels per frame.
4. Scrolldelay: This characteristic determines how long the information will take to scroll between each movement. This produces a pause effect, which smoothes and reduces the suddenness of the scrolling. 
5. Loop: The amount of times the content should loop is determined by the loop property. A positive integer defines how many loops the content should do before ending, whereas a value of -1 implies that the loop should continue forever. 
6. bgcolor: This property sets the background color behind the scrolling content. It facilitates separating the scrolling material from the page's surrounding components.
7. Width and height: These parameters determine the marquee's width and height. They can be given as a percentage of the width or height of the contained element or in pixels.
8. Onmouseover and onmouseout: These characteristics enable you to write JavaScript code that will be executed when the mouse pointer passes over or exits the marquee. By using this, you can make the scrolling material more interactive by adding features like a pause feature for when the mouse is above the marquee.

Event Handlers

1. onstart: in the case where the <marquee> tag is scrolling, the event handler is triggered. With the scrolling in process, the handler will accommodate you by making the option to display a message or alter the way other features on the page work available.
2. onfinish: The event observer invokes the onfinish handler when the <marquee> tag reaches the end of its scrolling sequence. The scrolling animation will last for some time, but, at last, it may be used for all possible actions, including switching to its initial state or starting a new animation.
3. onmouseover: On mousing over the <marquee> tag, you have to be able to add that event handler. When the visitor passengers the marquee, it can be used to stall the scroll of motion so they can read the text without it in motion.
4. onmouseout: The onmouseout event is triggered when the mouse cursor leaves the <marquee> tag. When the user takes the mouse away from the marquee, it may be utilized to resume the scrolling animation so that the content keeps scrolling.
5. onclick: When the <marquee> tag is clicked, this event handler is activated. When a user clicks on the marquee, it may be utilized to carry out activities like showing further information or launching a link.

HTML Scroll Marquee

The marquee tag in the HTML generates a text or picture scrolling effect. Once the most common method of displaying the animated and thereof more distinguishing elements on a webpage. Nevertheless, due to the problems regarding accessibility and usability, it is considered an outdated method at the current moment, and it is not recommended for use in modern web design.

The tag may be used to create a vertical or horizontal movement of text or images by making them scroll across the screen. It gives features to regulate the direction, pace, and behavior of scrolling content. In order to achieve more subtle and stylish scrolling, people usually utilize JavaScript or CSS animations. However, they are more visible on certain websites.

HTML Slide Marquee

The HTML slide marquee is a variant of the classic marquee tag that allows material to move across the screen rather than scrolling all the time. To get this effect, change the marquee tag's behavior property to "slide." A more understated and transparent method of bringing movement to the information is through the use of a sliding marquee.

It is frequently used to display news headlines, commercials, or other crucial information that should be emphasized but not unduly so. Like the classic marquee tag, accessibility, and usability issues make the sliding marquee unsuitable for modern web design.

HTML Alternative Marquee

The HTML alternative marquee is a variant of the classic marquee tag that allows the material to scroll across the screen in an alternating pattern. A back-and-forth scrolling effect is produced as a result of the material going from right to left before turning around and traveling from left to right.

To create an alternate marquee, change the marquee tag's behavior property to "alternate." This effect may give a webpage more visual appeal and is frequently used to display text or graphics dynamically. Due to accessibility and usability issues, the alternative marquee is not advised for use in contemporary web design, just like the regular marquee tag.

Direction in HTML Marquee

The direction property of the HTML marquee tag specifies through which direction the information should scroll. It can be assigned the values "left" (default), "right," "up," and "down". When it is set to "left" or "right", it moves horizontally to the left or the right accordingly. Set to "up" or "down," the material is built to scroll vertically in the preferred direction. With this feature, you are able to control how the marquee moves and produce different direction effects that fit your demand.

Disadvantages

The <marquee> tag in HTML, formerly the trans-figured symbol to make font and pictures scroll up and down, was judged as a notion of a good tag.

1. Usability: The reason to get these headphones would be their poor quality build, which may not deliver the level of experience possible with other brands. Accompanying it, readers may experience inconvenience because of the speed of the text as it moves and even a weird effect if the moving text is too fast or produces a distorted effect.

• Performance: On the other hand, it could be that the page was jerking due to overscrolling, which in some cases might be a result of having low-resource devices. Therefore, its volume may likely engulf the already lonesome location by consuming massive amounts of time for loading and bandwidth space.

• Limitations on design: A marquee banner is such a common design style that it will easily turn users away as it does not appear to be trendy, and there are very few customization options available. Finally, it could be quite challenging to adjust the chic elements in order to avoid these models being responsive.
