I need to be able to scroll text across the screen infinitely, with the ability to change the value.

This video is from the original release of Wix Code, and the website they made has this exact effect I’m looking for, how did they make this?

Through the use of marquee text in html and css code in an html iframe.

Help pls! I tried both the marque html code and css code. Text appear in Wix Editor. But after publishing i only get “404 Not Found” on my live site. Why?

Just use the marquee generator to make up your own and simply copy and paste the code for it into the html iframe on your own page.

Simple marquee for scrolling left to right would be like this.

<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="left">Your Text Goes Here...</marquee>

I tried that too an hour . Still only gets 404

Update: I rechecked. Marquee is working already. Is this normal to wait for an hour for the code be updated?

I Have done this, and it works perfectly. Is there a way to change the font of the scrolling text to one of WIX’s fonts, “Raleway”?

I have been enjoying this feature until recently, when I observe that it breaks. It stops abruptly halfway and never scrolls to the end of my text. You can even notice this after updating the HTML code… Please who else experiences this and how can one have this resolved? It looks as though it does not accept many characters again. I really don’t get.

There is a break in the scrolling characters, after updating… It does not scroll till the end. It ends abruptly in the middle and nothing else appears… Please who else is experiencing this and what can one do? Thanks…

Another way to do this (without an HtmlComponent) is demonstrated in the Marquee Text example .

@yisrael-wix Hello Yisrael, is there a limit on number of characters for the example demonstrated?

@flocktravel1 No limit as far as I know. Play with it and see what happens.
