Longer time I\'m curious about HTML tag .
You can find in MDN specification:
Obsolete This feat
I have created a jQuery script that will replace the old marquee tag with standard div. The code will also parse the marquee attributes like direction, scrolldelay and scrollamount. Actually the code can skip the jQuery part but I felt too lazy to do so, and the vanilla JS part is actually a solution that I modified from @Stano answere from here
Here is the code:
jQuery(function ($) {
if ($('marquee').length == 0) {
return;
}
$('marquee').each(function () {
let direction = $(this).attr('direction');
let scrollamount = $(this).attr('scrollamount');
let scrolldelay = $(this).attr('scrolldelay');
let newMarquee = $('');
$(newMarquee).html($(this).html());
$(newMarquee).attr('direction',direction);
$(newMarquee).attr('scrollamount',scrollamount);
$(newMarquee).attr('scrolldelay',scrolldelay);
$(newMarquee).css('white-space', 'nowrap');
let wrapper = $('').append(newMarquee);
$(this).replaceWith(wrapper);
});
function start_marquee() {
let marqueeElements = document.getElementsByClassName('new-marquee');
let marqueLen = marqueeElements.length
for (let k = 0; k < marqueLen; k++) {
let space = ' ';
let marqueeEl = marqueeElements[k];
let direction = marqueeEl.getAttribute('direction');
let scrolldelay = marqueeEl.getAttribute('scrolldelay') * 100;
let scrollamount = marqueeEl.getAttribute('scrollamount');
let marqueeText = marqueeEl.innerHTML;
marqueeEl.innerHTML = marqueeText + space;
marqueeEl.style.position = 'absolute';
let width = (marqueeEl.clientWidth + 1);
let i = (direction == 'rigth') ? width : 0;
let step = (scrollamount !== undefined) ? parseInt(scrollamount) : 3;
marqueeEl.style.position = '';
marqueeEl.innerHTML = marqueeText + space + marqueeText + space;
let x = setInterval( function () {
if ( direction.toLowerCase() == 'left') {
i = i < width ? i + step : 1;
marqueeEl.style.marginLeft = -i + 'px';
} else {
i = i > -width ? i - step : width;
marqueeEl.style.marginLeft = -i + 'px';
}
}, scrolldelay);
}
}
start_marquee ();
});
And here is a working codepen
