A little more detail would be helpful. I assume you mean scrolling text?

Is it required?

Scrolling text is not really a good idea. Everyone reads at different speeds. So for the most people that look at it, it will either be to fast or to slow.

It can be almost impossible to read for many with cognitive and attention deficits, and anyone with poor eyesight.

If it is JavaScript based it will not work with those having JS turned off or those using the large majority of user agents that do not support JS. But JS does allow in some cases for it to be stopped or slowed.

Marquee tags, you can adjust the speed a little, but the user cannot. It is not HTML standard so will not validate.

I would suggest if you really want a scroll, use CSS overflow. Place the text in a Div, than size the div how you want it... fat, or narrow and horizontal... whatever fit the design. Then add to it
overflow: auto;


This gives you the affect of a inline frame. Anything past the sides will disappear, instead you will have a scrollbar and they can scroll at their own pace. If CSS is turned off, the whole text is visible.
