Learn how to create a continuously scrolling text ribbon, teleprompter style
This is how the final result will look on your webpage:
The <marquee> tag used to be used for this, but nowadays it's deprecated and doesn't work well across all browsers. To do it in a modern, clean way we use two containers:
marquee-container: Acts as the visible window with overflow: hidden to hide the text that goes off screen.marquee-content: Is the long text that will move smoothly from right to left using CSS animation.<div class="marquee-container">
<div class="marquee-content">
✦ YOUR TEXT HERE ✦ SECOND MESSAGE ✦ THIRD MESSAGE ✦
</div>
</div>
Apply the styles in your CSS file. The key to the continuous movement is the @keyframes marquee rule, which moves the text from translateX(0) to translateX(-100%).
/* Contenedor principal (máscara) */
.marquee-container {
background: #e55c8a; /* Color de fondo rosa oscuro */
color: #ffffff; /* Color del texto */
padding: 8px 0;
margin: 15px 0;
border-radius: 20px;
overflow: hidden; /* Oculta lo que sale del recuadro */
white-space: nowrap; /* Evita que el texto salte de línea */
border: 2px solid #ffffff;
}
/* Texto en movimiento */
.marquee-content {
display: inline-block;
padding-left: 100%; /* Empieza fuera de la pantalla a la derecha */
font-family: 'Silkscreen', cursive;
font-size: 16px;
animation: marquee 15s linear infinite; /* Animación continua */
}
/* Animación del teleprompter */
@keyframes marquee {
0% {
transform: translateX(0);
}
100% {
transform: translateX(-100%);
}
}
animation: marquee 15s ... (example: 10s will go faster, 25s will go slower)..marquee-container:hover .marquee-content {
animation-play-state: paused;
}
