marquee tag in HTML code allows
Web developers to set the text so that it scrolls across the web page. While
using the marquee tag certainly brings attention to the text, it also can
appear juvenile if it is not used the right way. Marquee tags are optimal for
news, sports and stock tickers, but probably not as effective for other types
of content.
