Introduction to Text Marquee

Adding a scrolling text marquee to your website can grab visitors' attention and add a dynamic element to your webpage. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to create a text marquee using HTML and CSS, without any coding expertise required.


Understanding HTML for Text Marquee

100% { transform: translateX(-100%); }

}
