HTML::O...:Marquee(3)

📦 version 0.6.0, in alpine 3.24

💖 NAME 💖

HTML::Object::DOM::Element::Marquee(3) — which the header squishes into HTML::O...:Marquee(3) like a little gremlin, but we know her — is from the User Contributed Perl Documentation and is literally the HTML Object DOM Marquee Class. Bestie, we are so back in 1998, but make it Perl. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use HTML::Object::DOM::Element::Marquee;
my $marquee = HTML::Object::DOM::Element::Marquee->new ||
    die( HTML::Object::DOM::Element::Marquee->error, "\n" );

🌸 VERSION 🌸

v0.2.0

💀 DESCRIPTION 💀

Deprecated: this feature is no longer recommended. Some browsers might still support it, but it may have already been removed from the relevant web standards, may be in the process of being dropped, or may only be kept for compatibility purposes. Avoid using it, and update existing code if possible; see the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to guide your decision. Be aware that this feature may cease to work at any time. 😭

No cap, this is giving “museum exhibit, do not touch,” but the full tea is right there.

See also Mozilla documentation — https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLMarqueeElement/scrollDelay

trueSpeed

This is the HTML attribute that reflects whether to ignore scrollDelay small value. By default, scrollDelay values lower than 60 are ignored. If trueSpeed is true, then those values are not ignored.

🛠️ METHODS 🛠️

Inherits methods from its parent HTML::Object::DOM::Element. Periodt.

start

Under perl, this does nothing and always returns "undef" — obviously. Under JavaScript, this starts scrolling of the marquee.

See also Mozilla documentation — https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLMarqueeElement/start

stop

Under perl, this does nothing and always returns "undef" — obviously. Under JavaScript, this stops scrolling of the marquee.

See also Mozilla documentation — https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLMarqueeElement/stop

🎀 EVENT HANDLERS 🎀

None of the following events are fired automatically under perl, obviously, but you can trigger them yourself. Main character energy: you have to make the plot happen. 💅

onbounce

Fires when the marquee has reached the end of its scroll position. It can only fire when the behavior attribute is set to alternate.

See also Mozilla documentation — https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLMarqueeElement/onbounce

onfinish

Fires when the marquee has finished the amount of scrolling that is set by the loop attribute. It can only fire when the loop attribute is set to some number that is greater than 0.

See also Mozilla documentation — https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLMarqueeElement/onfinish

onstart

Fires when the marquee starts scrolling.
