Smooth Scroller With Pure CSS/CSS3 – Ultimate Marquee

Preview:

Description:

This is a smooth scrolling, CSS-only horizontal scroller that behaves like the traditional marquee element without all the extra markup, JavaScript, and images.

How to use it:

1. Add content to the scroller.

<!-- Right To Left -->
<div class="marquee">
  <div class="track">
    <span class="text">Item 1</span>
    <span class="text">Item 2</span>
    <span class="text">Item 3</span>
    ...
  </div>
</div>

<!-- Left To Right -->
<div class="marquee">
  <div class="track">
    <span class="text -r">Item 1</span>
    <span class="text -r">Item 2</span>
    <span class="text -r">Item 3</span>
    ...
  </div>
</div>
