I’m not sure how you first got in to web development, but in my case it was in my GNVQ ICT class whilst I was at school.
Back then we spent our time trying to create basic websites — using only <table> elements for structure and including as much flaming text as possible.
One of my favourite elements was the <marquee> element. At this point, you’re reaction will be either “oh yeah, that’s a blast from the past” or “what?” .
Either way, below is a reminder of what a basic <marquee> element looks like.
This was used for displaying random bits of content, even news.
But it got me wondering, could we use the <marquee> element to create a JavaScript-free image carousel? Turns out — it’s pretty simple.
There are many uses for this, maybe an Instagram feed?
But, you may ask, isn’t the <marquee> element now obsolete? Well, yes, it is. But, and this is a big but, according to the Mozilla docs, it’s still pretty well supported.
This isn’t the limit of what we can do with the <marquee> element, so I had a play around with using it for some animations…
For more information, the documentation here is pretty good.
