Here is an example of using the HTML <marquee> element to create a scrolling text effect:

<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="left">Welcome to my website!</marquee>

This will create a horizontal scrolling text that moves from right to left across the screen. You can customize the behavior and direction of the scrolling text by modifying the values of the behavior and direction attributes.

Other optional attributes you can use with the <marquee> element include:

• loop: The number of times the text should scroll before stopping.
• scrollamount: The speed at which the text should scroll, in pixels per second.
• scrolldelay: The delay between each scroll iteration, in milliseconds.

HTML Marquee Attributes

Marquee's element contains several attributes that are used to control and adjust the appearance of the marquee.

Attribute	Description
behavior	It facilitates user to set the behavior of the marquee to one of the three different types: scroll, slide and alternate.
direction	defines direction for scrolling content. It may be left, right, up and down.
width	defines width of marquee in pixels or %.
height	defines height of marquee in pixels or %.
hspace	defines horizontal space in pixels around the marquee.
vspace	defines vertical space in pixels around the marquee.
scrolldelay	defines scroll delay in seconds.
scrollamount	defines scroll amount in number.
loop	defines loop for marquee content in number.
bgcolor	defines background color. It is now deprecated.

Here is an example that includes all of these attributes:

<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="left" loop="5" scrollamount="50" scrolldelay="1000">Welcome to my website!</marquee>

If you will run above code, you will get below output.

Disadvantages HTML marquee

1) Marquee may be distracting because human eyes are attracted towards movement and marquee text constantly.

2) Since Marquee text moves, so it is more difficult to click static text, depending on the scrolling speed.

3) It is a non-standard HTML element.

4) It draws user's attention needlessly and makes the text harder to read.
