HTML Marquee Codes

You can create scolling text (or anything else for that matter) by using the <marquee> tag. This tag isn't part of the official HTML specification, but the code does work on many popular browsers (including Internet Explorer and Firefox).

If you can't view the examples on this page, or if they don't work as expected, your browser probably doesn't recognise the <marquee> tag. If that's the case, try using Internet Explorer or Firefox.
