The Marquee Element

TIL that you can nest them and make a DVD bounce effect! There&#x27;s even an `onbounce` property to which you can add a handler and make it change colors!... at least on Firefox: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jsbin.com&#x2F;givevorilu&#x2F;1&#x2F;edit?html,console,output" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jsbin.com&#x2F;givevorilu&#x2F;1&#x2F;edit?html,console,output</a>

Oh man... I loved marquee so much. I use it do to all sorts of tricks...<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jsfiddle.net&#x2F;vf973btu&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jsfiddle.net&#x2F;vf973btu&#x2F;</a><p>I remember creating an effect like the one above, while some javascript &quot;calculate&quot; the probability of you being an alien... it was my first alien detector! =)

I must be one of the few days old timers (my first web site went live in 1994) who doesn’t miss the marquee element. Always hated. Hated &lt;blink&gt; too.<p>There’s lots I don’t like about modern web development but the depreciation of marquee and blink aren’t 2 of them.

The most OG tag for sure.<p>Raise your hand if you remember guest books, site counters, marquee tags, and using 4 small positioned images to get rounded corners!

I understand why the marquee element is deprecated, but I&#x27;ll always have a soft spot in my heart for it. When I was in middle school I spent a lot of time geocaching, and the first person to find a new cache would often get their username in a marquee on the cache&#x27;s page. It was fun way to celebrate each other when the geocaching website only supported HTML input.

On my iPhone, the one that says direction=&quot;down&quot; behavior=&quot;alternate&quot; doesn&#x27;t bounce up and down; it bounces horizontally.

Fond memories of this tag. Like the time during a lab practical I typo&#x27;d the closing tag on one of these which caused 100% of the page contents to scroll off the screen...and never come back.

Everyone hates this element, but what I hate even more than this element are implementations of this element using modern html+js+css.

would it be possible to do something like this with marquee instead of SVG&#x2F;animation?<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;codepen.io&#x2F;Anna_Batura&#x2F;pen&#x2F;MWXjMmE" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;codepen.io&#x2F;Anna_Batura&#x2F;pen&#x2F;MWXjMmE</a>
