This and <blink> were so overused that browsers started to show them without any animation
- dunham 4y agoDecades ago, I disabled blink by loading my netscape binary into emacs and changing the tag name. Surprisingly marquee is still there, you can even go into the DOM and rename your top level elements "marquee" and the entire page scrolls.
- sli 4y agoJust did that to HN's <center>. Got a good chuckle out of it, thanks.
- theandrewbailey 4y agoI did that (via browser inspector), then wanted to upvote you. It was very hard. Eventually got it!
- yamtaddle 4y agoA couple years ago I went looking for JS marquee replacements and zero of them I could find would deliver the same functionality as <marquee> Functionality's gone, it seems. Evidently it's hard to replicate all of it because none of the options I could find managed it.
- stonogo 4y agoYou don't need javascript to replace marquee tags. There are a plethora of implementations using CSS animation.
- yamtaddle 4y agoIf you just want stuff to scroll, sure, but it's got a lot of features: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/marquee https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/ma... I just know that when I went to try to make a marquee using some of these features a couple years ago, I couldn't find anything pre-made that could do what I wanted, which was nothing more than what <marquee> could do, so it was going to be a lot of custom work. Which surprised me, I expected someone to have perfectly re-created the whole tag just for giggles if nothing else. There were tons of partial solutions, but nothing that was a complete replacement.
