Adding scrolling text to a web page is possible through the use of the HTML element "Marquee." Several attributes can be applied to "Marquee" in order to style the scrolling text, including the speed of and direction of the scroll. The "Marquee" element has been rendered obsolete by the World Wide Web Consortium (WC3), the organization that develops web standards. However, most modern web browsers still support "Marquee."

     Define how the text should scroll by adding any number of compatible attributes to the "Marquee" tag. By default, scrolling text will take up the full width of the available screen area, and will scroll horizontally across the screen from right to left. Replace "X" with your desired values (in pixels) and place each attribute inside the <Marquee> tag, as in the example below:
     <Marquee WIDTH=X HEIGHT=X DIRECTION=X SCROLLDELAY=X BGCOLOR=X>Scrolling text...</Marquee>
     Width: Controls how wide the scrolling area is, stated in pixels.
     Height: Controls how tall the scrolling area is, stated in pixels.
     Direction: Controls which ways the text scrolls (either LEFT or RIGHT)
     Scroll delay: Control how much time there is before the scrolling text repeats and scrolls again. State this in milliseconds (1000 = 1 second).
     BG color: Defines the color of the scrolling area, stated in 6-character HEX code.
