Changing the Speed

You can speed up your slide-in text - or slow it down if you prefer. To do this, just add the scrollamount attribute. For example, scrollamount="1" results in a very slow slide, while scrollamount="50" will make the text zoom-in - perhaps too fast for most people to notice it zooming in.

Some examples:

Usability of Marquees

You should be careful when using marquees in HTML. Many web users dislike websites that contain scrolling text and other elements, so try to use them tastefully :)
