What Is Marquee Element?

The <Marquee> tag is a deprecated (non-standard) HTML element that was once widely used to create compelling scrolling elements (e.g. news/stock ticker, text/image scroller, etc) in tranditional websites.

With the development of HTML and CSS technology, the Marquee element is Obsolete and has been deprecated in HTML5.

In modern front-end development, developers can use CSS3 and JcavaScript to achieve this requirement.

This is why I list here the 10 best JavaScript/jQuery plugins to implement the marquee-like content scrolling effects on the modern web app. Enjoy.
