  1. Marquees and Standards LESSON 9 Module 2: HTML Basics

  2. Lesson Overview • In this lesson, you will learn to: • Create a marquee using HTML code. • Apply W3C standards to tags commonly used in Web design.

  3. Guiding Questions for Lesson 9 • The tags <b>…</b> and <i>…</i> are no longer accepted as code by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Why do you think these tags have been dropped from the standards? • What is the purpose of an <alt> tag?

  4. Marquees Allow text or images to “slide” across a Web page. Can add interest to a Web page. Not all browsers may be able to render the effect. Can be used to scroll information across the screen. Modern techniques have been created to generate this effect.

  5. Simple Marquee Code The following code causes the words “Hi there!” to scroll across the screen from right to left. <html> <head> <marquee>Hi there!</marquee> </head> </html>

  6. Marquee Attributes Below are a few of the attributes that can be added to the <marquee> tag: width=xx% defines how wide the marquee is on the screen height=xx defines how tall the marquee is on the screen direction= defines which direction the text or image travels; can be up, down, left or right behavior= defines the type of scrolling; can be scroll, slide or alternate (bounces from one side to the other) loop=xx defines how many times to complete the behavior bgcolor= defines the color behind the text or image

  7. Scrolling Images • Marquees can be used to scroll images • Similar code to inserting an image in a Web page • <html> • <head> • <marquee direction=right><imgsrc=“S.2.9.WS_Smiley.jpg" height=50 width=50></marquee> • </head> • </html>

  8. Time to create your own marquee

  9. Marquees have been deprecated • The W3C considers marquees as deprecated or obsolete. • Can’t be read by “reading” browsers used by sight impaired persons • Can’t be displayed on mobile devices • Technique does not follow the W3C’s Guideline 2.2 • “Allow users to control time limits on their reading or interaction.” • See: http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/WD-WCAG20-20050211/#time-limits-pause
