I’m not sure how you first got in to web development, but in my case it was in my GNVQ ICT class whilst I was at school.

Back then we spent our time trying to create basic websites — using only <table> elements for structure and including as much flaming text as possible.

One of my favourite elements was the <marquee> element. At this point, your reaction will be either “oh yeah, that’s a blast from the past” or “what?”.

Either way, below is a reminder of what a basic <marquee> element looks like.

This was used for displaying random bits of content, even news.

But it got me wondering, could we use the <marquee> element to create a JavaScript-free image carousel? Turns out — it’s pretty simple.

There are many uses for this, maybe an Instagram feed?
