Is it possible to recreate marquee using CSS only? - css

Question

I have a requirement that can be solved using a marquee
.ticker {
white-space: no-wrap;
}
.item {
display: inline-block;
cursor: pointer;
}
<marquee class="ticker" onmouseover="this.stop()" onmouseout="this.start()">
<div class="item">Item 1</div>
<div class="item">Item 2</div>
<div class="item">Item 3</div>
<div class="item">Item 4</div>
</marquee>
How do we make this compliant with html5 since marquee is deprecated?
I have seen a few examples, but most of them rely on fixed width.
In my example, the items are received from the server so there can be a lot of them. Also, I will need that stop on hover since the items are links to something else.
Thank you very much for your help,
PS: I want to make sure we can't do this in CSS only before I start exploring javascript.

This codepen has a great example of what you're looking for.
To make it pause on hover, I added a hover state to pause the animation:
https://codepen.io/anon/pen/zzpZyg
.marquee:hover div {
-webkit-animation-play-state: paused; /* Safari 4.0 - 8.0 */
animation-play-state: paused;
}
body { margin: 20px; }
.marquee {
height: 25px;
width: 420px;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
}
.marquee div {
display: block;
width: 200%;
height: 30px;
position: absolute;
overflow: hidden;
animation: marquee 5s linear infinite;
}
.marquee span {
float: left;
width: 50%;
}
#keyframes marquee {
0% { left: 0; }
100% { left: -100%; }
}
.marquee:hover div {
-webkit-animation-play-state: paused; /* Safari 4.0 - 8.0 */
animation-play-state: paused;
}
<div class="marquee">
<div>
<span>You spin me right round, baby. Like a record, baby.</span>
<span>You spin me right round, baby. Like a record, baby.</span>
</div>
</div>

Sorry I know I am late. However, I have a simple solution to create a marquee with CSS.
.marquee-container{
overflow:hidden;
}
.marquee{
min-width:100%;
animation: marquee 15s linear infinite;
}
.marquee:hover{
animation-play-state: paused;
}
#keyframes marquee {
from{margin-left : 120%;}
to{margin-left: -20%;}
}
<div class="marquee-container">
<p class="marquee">
<span>Item 1</span>
<span>Item 2</span>
<span>Item 3</span>
<span>Item 4</span>
</p>
</div>

Finally I found one that works, and here is the finally product https://fiddle.sencha.com/#view/editor&fiddle/228u
Here is the original one, https://codepen.io/lewismcarey/pen/GJZVoG
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="container">
<span>Span Me 1</span>
<span>Span Me 2</span>
<span>Span Me 3</span>
<span>Span Me 4</span>
</div>
</div>
The trick was to "left-pad" the wrapper to hide the container initially. Then, "right-pad" the container so that the animation only stops/restarts once the container has gone off screen. Both padding are sized relatively. display: block; is added to the container so that the right padding uses the wrapper's size. And finally, we add an animation on the wrapper's transform attribute.
Thank you all,

I am no good at java script
but here is it using html and css
PS. that mouse over thing is not working here
.wrapper {
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
height: 25px;
width: 100px;
border: 1px solid orange;
}
.wrapper p {
position: absolute;
margin: 0;
line-height: 25px;
white-space: nowrap;
animation: marquee 5s linear infinite;
}
#keyframes marquee {
0% { transform: translateX(100%); }
100% { transform: translateX(-100%); }
}
<div class="wrapper">
<p>Hey, how you're doing? .</p>
</div>

There are lots of information on google about it, just search: "css3 marque", like Neil Kennedy mentioned. One question is very similar to yours and the text stops scrolling after you hover over it. Check this link below: CSS3 Marquee Effect and jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/MaY5A/1/
$(".toggle").on("click", function() {
$(".marquee").toggleClass("microsoft");
});
/* Make it a marquee */
.marquee {
width: 450px;
margin: 0 auto;
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
box-sizing: border-box;
border: 1px green solid;
}
.marquee span {
display: inline-block;
padding-left: 100%;
text-indent: 0;
border: 1px red solid;
animation: marquee 15s linear infinite;
}
.marquee span:hover {
animation-play-state: paused
}
/* Make it move */
#keyframes marquee {
0% {
transform: translate(0, 0);
}
100% {
transform: translate(-100%, 0);
}
}
/* Make it pretty */
.microsoft {
padding-left: 1.5em;
position: relative;
font: 16px 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;
}
/* ::before was :before before ::before was ::before - kthx */
.microsoft:before,
.microsoft::before {
z-index: 2;
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: -1em;
left: -1em;
width: .5em;
height: .5em;
box-shadow: 1.0em 1.25em 0 #F65314, 1.6em 1.25em 0 #7CBB00, 1.0em 1.85em 0 #00A1F1, 1.6em 1.85em 0 #FFBB00;

}
/* Style the links */
.vanity {

}

- This demo uses -prefix-free to avoid vendor prefixes
- It also requires manual setting of the end text-indent
