Frequently Asked Questions

The <marquee> tag is a non-standard HTML element used to create scrolling text or images horizontally or vertically. It was popular in the 1990s for creating retro animated effects but is now deprecated in HTML5. Despite that, most browsers still support it for backward compatibility.

It was removed from the official HTML specification due to accessibility concerns, inconsistent browser behavior, and because it mixes presentation with structure. Modern web standards recommend using CSS animations or JavaScript for similar moving text effects.

In the marquee tag, use the scrollamount attribute (pixels per movement) or scrolldelay (milliseconds between movements). In the CSS alternative, adjust the animation-duration property—lower values (e.g., 5s) mean faster scrolling, higher values (15s) slower.

Yes! Choose Alternate behavior in our generator, or set behavior="alternate" in the marquee tag. For CSS, use animation-direction: alternate; to bounce the text.

CSS animations are widely supported in all modern browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. For older browsers like IE10 and below, you may need vendor prefixes or fallback to the marquee tag.

Absolutely. Both marquee and CSS scrolling adapt to container width. For vertical marquees, make sure to set a fixed height. Our generated CSS code uses relative units and can be easily integrated into responsive layouts.
