Nested Marquee tag in HTML It is used to insert scrolling image or text. In simpler terms it can be understood that it scrolls text or images in various directions like left, up, or right. It does this automatically.
The text that is included in the marquee tag scrolls from left to right. The marquee tag within HTML is no longer supported in HTML5 however we are able to utilize it in earlier version of HTML and shouldn’t be used in any further ways.
It is recommended that you make use of CSS instead to create the same effect of scrolling.
What is Nesting?
