# Marquee in HTML

In this blog I am defining the marquee tag.\

Marquee was first introduced in [Internet](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/44650/what-should-you-do-during-an-internet-outage) [Explorer](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/34658/want-to-developed-windows-explorer-without-using-telerik) and was very popular in the decade of 90’s before W3C ultimately decided to exclude it from the HTML [standard](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/23223/naming-convention-or-coding-standard) element due to [usability](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/886/are-there-usability-issues-with-ajax) issues.

##### New CSS3 Properties

CSS3 adds five new [properties](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/23331/nootropics-7-different-types-and-their-unique-properties) to help control how [your content](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/87465/how-to-enhance-your-content-visibility-10-tips) displays in the marquee:

1. [Overflow](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/1711/what-is-overflow-properties-in-css)-style

2. Marquee-style

3. Marquee-play-count

4. Marquee-[direction](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/story/5034/10-animals-with-the-best-sense-of-direction)

5. Marquee-speed

##### Overflow-style:

Overflow style is same as overflow [property](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/205/property-notification-in-c-sharp) in CSS3 and I have already explained in my [previous](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/81421/unlock-2-0-is-just-like-previous-corona-lockdowns) Article http://www.mindstick.com/Articles/3eaf46bf-7086-4fc5-b853-58f52ce37885/?Overflow%20property%20using%20CSS3%20and%20HTML

##### Marquee-direction:

Sets the direction of the moving content.

##### Marquee-play-count:

Sets how many times the content move.

##### Marquee-speed:

Sets how fast the content scrolls.

##### Marquee-style:

Sets the style of the moving content.

```
<html>
<body>
<marquee behavior="slide" direction="right">Text goes left side to Right in screen </marquee>
<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="left"> Text goes right side to left in screen </marquee>
<marquee behavior="alternate">Your text bouncing in screen </marquee>
<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="up">Your Text goes in up side of screen. </marquee>

```
