I\'m hopeless at Javascript. This is what I have:
Working with @Stano code and some jQuery I have created a script that will replace the old marquee
tag with standard div
. The code will also parse the marquee
attributes like direction
, scrolldelay
and scrollamount
.
Here is the code:
jQuery(function ($) {
if ($('marquee').length == 0) {
return;
}
$('marquee').each(function () {
let direction = $(this).attr('direction');
let scrollamount = $(this).attr('scrollamount');
let scrolldelay = $(this).attr('scrolldelay');
let newMarquee = $('');
$(newMarquee).html($(this).html());
$(newMarquee).attr('direction',direction);
$(newMarquee).attr('scrollamount',scrollamount);
$(newMarquee).attr('scrolldelay',scrolldelay);
$(newMarquee).css('white-space', 'nowrap');
let wrapper = $('').append(newMarquee);
$(this).replaceWith(wrapper);
});
function start_marquee() {
let marqueeElements = document.getElementsByClassName('new-marquee');
let marqueLen = marqueeElements.length
for (let k = 0; k < marqueLen; k++) {
let space = ' ';
let marqueeEl = marqueeElements[k];
let direction = marqueeEl.getAttribute('direction');
let scrolldelay = marqueeEl.getAttribute('scrolldelay') * 100;
let scrollamount = marqueeEl.getAttribute('scrollamount');
let marqueeText = marqueeEl.innerHTML;
marqueeEl.innerHTML = marqueeText + space;
marqueeEl.style.position = 'absolute';
let width = (marqueeEl.clientWidth + 1);
let i = (direction == 'rigth') ? width : 0;
let step = (scrollamount !== undefined) ? parseInt(scrollamount) : 3;
marqueeEl.style.position = '';
marqueeEl.innerHTML = marqueeText + space + marqueeText + space;
let x = setInterval( function () {
if ( direction.toLowerCase() == 'left') {
i = i < width ? i + step : 1;
marqueeEl.style.marginLeft = -i + 'px';
} else {
i = i > -width ? i - step : width;
marqueeEl.style.marginLeft = -i + 'px';
}
}, scrolldelay);
}
}
start_marquee ();
});
And here is a working codepen
