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With the development of HTML and CSS technology, the Marquee element is Obsolete and has been deprecated in HTML5.
