Creating "Scrolling Text" on a SharePoint team site.

Question

_{Monday, January 4, 2016 3:11 PM}

Hello,
I am attempting to create a horizontal scrolling text on a SharePoint team site and need a bit of assistance.  I have done the following:
-Inserted a "Content Editor Web Part" and edited in "Edit HTML Source"
-I am using the following code:
<marquee bgcolor=”#cccccc” loop=”-1″ scrollamount=”2″ width=”100%”>Horizontally Scrolling Marquee</marquee>

What parts am I missing?  I am simply trying to make scrolling text at the top of my site.  Any assistance is very much appreciated.

Hi Derek,

I noticed that marquee is an obsolete element so compatibility may be an issue. What browser are you using? I was able to edit the source in a Content Editor webpart and your markup does work in Chrome, but not in Edge. Try a different browser and see if that works.

I also tested this javascript piece from Jfiddle in my dev environment and it also works if you want to go that route.

Hi，

I have done a test in my SharePoint 2013 and it works fine:

<marquee width="100%" bgcolor="#cccccc" scrollamount="2" loop="-1">Horizontally Scrolling Marquee</marquee>

Try to add your site into trust site.

Try to use another browser, such IE 10,11.

Add your IE into compatibility view.

Hello Sonny,

You were correct, it was a browser issue.  I should have tried another from the get go.  Thank you for your Assistance!
