Tips on HTML Marquees

Website marquees are basically rolling lines of text that are similar to the ticker tapes from the Stock Exchange. They are often used in websites when you want a particular message to be noticed. In the past, using a marquee in your website is the norm. That is not the case these days when HTML marquees are often viewed to be a thing of the past.

But marquees still have their use for some website. If your website is concerned with delivering the news or watching the stock market, marquees are excellent tools that you can use to attract the attention of your readers to your feeds. Fortunately, there are already a lot of good-looking professional marquees out there. Don't use plain HTML!

Just download any of the Web marquees available out there. Most of the time, they come in either Javascript or Flash variants and also vary in cost, from free to those that are reasonably priced. Some of them actually allow you to connect your marquee to your RSS feeds, making updates even easier. There are HTML generators, but as already mentioned a while ago, HTML marquees are far from being professional-looking.

For some marquees, you can also decide how your text will scroll. This could horizontal, vertical, or maybe even diagonal. But marquees that scroll in odd directions fail your purpose of attracting the attention of your users to the text. In fact, you may actually be attracting the ire of your users!

Then there is the speed of the marquee. While a lot of these Flash-based marquees already have their pre-set speeds, some others still allow you to edit them. Make it too fast or too slow and you're going to see your visitors away. Also remember that when your marquee background is dark, that leaves a trail of pixels for fast-scrolling marquees.
