Accessibility
<marquee> elements are deprecated and must not be used
The marquee
element creates scrolling text
that is
difficult to read and click on. Beyond that, it can be distracting to viewers, especially to
those with low vision, cognitive disabilities, or attention deficits.
People with attention deficits or cognitive disabilities could become distracted by content that scrolls. If scrolling content contains links, people with limited fine motor abilities may not be able to click on the links accurately. Users with visual impairments may not be able to see the scrolling text with enough acuity to know what the content says.
Fixing the problem
Deprecated elements which are presentational in nature have typically been replaced by cascading style sheets (CSS), and their use may interfere with the ability of assistive technologies to properly render content.
Remove all marquee
elements, even if they are empty.
Example of What To Remove
The following is code for scrolling marquee text with links, followed by the rendered display output:
