good morning all. I have a static html code snippet which i’ve included in an HTML frame. This provides a scrolling typewriter marquee effect.
So i know this isn’t corvid its HTML but i would love to be let users customise the html code i.e. the text input. Is this possible?
Obviously the text input is easy to collect but is there a way to code this so that the html would be unique based on the text input made. This would be a great addition to my site.
Thanks Adam
You can modify the Typewriter Example to change the text according to user input. Since it uses Corvid for the typewriter effect, it should be easier to do.
Hi Yisrael thats great thanks. Do you have any code examples that are strictly marquee type effects that i can use for user input as well ? This would be an amazing element for my site as would be really powerful, here’s the snippet i’ve found and used for static use

Hi is this something that could be created by someone from the wix arena to enable user inputs from a collection record? Or even better how likely is the marquee feature to be developed by wix and when 
Thanks
Adam
I’d say doubtful, since this is really old-school stuff - like 3 minutes to load a GIF over dialup old-school stuff XD. The modern method is to use CSS, which I’m sure you can find examples of on codepen, as it’s much more flexible.
@skmedia Hi David, i understand what you are saying. I must admit though that the simplicity of this old school element would be great if i could find a way to input unique text as opposed to a static pre written set of text
I just googled code pen, great resource but in terms of inserting text from a user input wouldn’t know where to begin
I’m wondering if i can build something based on the html code above similar to the code for personalising a product using wix code example ?
It might be old school but unless wix can create a scrolling text element / animation that i could customise with user input i would really like to pursue scrolling text
With both the marquee and CSS approaches, you will be able to send a message containing your text input’s value to the iframe and then write a JS script inside your iframe to handle it.

Hey Adam, here’s a simple Marquee (scrolling) text example that might help you accomplish what you want.
Hey Yisrael that is perfect but i cannot seem to load them template to view the code?
@adcatch02 Grrrr - don’t know what happened to my site. Here’s the link to the template.
I hate it when I’m stupid… I had entered the wrong URL for the template. The link on the site is now fixed. Sorry.
@yisrael-wix Amazing, this is what I was looking for: A dynamic banner that we can implement using Wix Velo for a 'News/Blog/ site we are building on Wix. The customer wants a banner at the top with the latest News (links)… So with this, we can implement a banner that changes dynamically. And I guess it can also contain links, right? we will need to update the text and also the href link in the HTML. Thank you mate!
Hi this is almost perfect for my setup but im very new to HTML and I simply want the Text Input on one page of the website but the Marquee Element to be shown on another page can you advise how I can get this to happen. Thanks
