recreate marquee element using css

as the marquee element has been removed from html5 (which is probably a good thing) its now unsupported, but you can use css and keyframes to recreate it. Yay..

CSS Marquee Demo

Some Marquee Text

You can change the speed by modifying this line:

animation: marquee 5s linear infinite;

the lower the s the faster it goes

code

<div class='marquee'>
	<p>Some Marquee Text</p>
</div>

<style>
.marquee {
    width: 100%;
	line-height: 40px;
	background-color: #444;
	color: #FFF;
    white-space: nowrap;
    overflow: hidden;
    box-sizing: border-box;
}
.marquee p {
    display: inline-block;
    padding-left: 100%;
    animation: marquee 5s linear infinite;
}
@keyframes marquee {
    0%   { transform: translate(0, 0); }
    100% { transform: translate(-100%, 0); }
}
</style>

You can go the other way as well... if you like

Just remove the - from the translate and change the padding to right rather than left

Some Marquee Text

Code Right

<div class='marquee-right'>
	<p>Some Marquee Text</p>
</div>

<style>
.marquee-right {
    width: 100%;
	line-height: 40px;
	background-color: #444;
	color: #FFF;
    white-space: nowrap;
    overflow: hidden;
    box-sizing: border-box;
}
.marquee-right p {
    display: inline-block;
    padding-right: 100%;
    animation: marqueeright 5s linear infinite;
}
@keyframes marqueeright {
    0%   { transform: translate(0, 0); }
    100% { transform: translate(100%, 0); }
}
</style>

We can add a pause to the animation when the mouse is over it by adding the following

.marquee:hover p {
	animation-play-state: paused;
}
.marquee-right:hover p {
	animation-play-state: paused;
}

"Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything. 'Are you feeling all right?' I asked her. 'I feel all sleepy,' she said. In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead. The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was...in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her. On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunised against measles. ...I dedicated two of my books to Olivia, the first was ‘James and the Giant Peach’. That was when she was still alive. The second was ‘The BFG’, dedicated to her memory after she had died from measles. You will see her name at the beginning of each of these books. And I know how happy she would be if only she could know that her death had helped to save a good deal of illness and death among other children."

I just checked google books for BFG, and the dedication is there.
