The scrolling images were achieved using the HTML <marquee> tag. Using this tag, you can give your images a horizontal scroll or a vertical scroll.


You can easily move images in HTML using the <marquee> tag. It is used to create scrolling images either from horizontally left to right or right to left, or vertically top to bottom or bottom to top. By default, the image found within the <marquee> tag will scroll from right to left. Expand the drop-down menu next to the Scrolling direction option and select Down motion scrolls down to switch to natural scrolling. There's no need to restart your PC. The changes will take effect immediately. You can also switch back to reverse scrolling the same way if you change your mind. To make a scrolling image we can use the CSS animation property (to apply an animation to the element) along with the @keyframes rule (to define the animation). Here, we're actually making the inner <div> element scroll. This element contains the image so the image scrolls too.


Here is an example of how to scroll image up and down in HTML/CSS:

FAQ

1. How can I create a webpage with an image that scrolls up and down? 

To create a webpage with a scrolling image, you can use the <img> tag within a container such as a <div>. Make sure the container has a fixed height and set the overflow property to "auto" to enable scrolling. 


2. Can I control the scrolling speed of the image? 

The scroll-behavior property controls the scrolling behavior but doesn't directly control the speed. It can use JavaScript to achieve a custom scrolling effect.  


3. How can I add horizontal scrolling as well? 

To enable horizontal scrolling, set the overflow-x property to auto. It makes sure the content width exceeds the container width. 


4. Is it possible to control the scrolling speed of the image with CSS? 

The scroll-behavior property controls the scrolling behavior but not the speed. For custom scrolling speed, consider using JavaScript. 


5. How can I add horizontal scrolling along with vertical scrolling? 

To enable horizontal scrolling, use the overflow-x property to adjust the dimensions. 


Example: scroll-container { 

width: 400px; /* Set a fixed width for the container */ 

height: 400px; 

overflow-x: auto; /* Enable horizontal scrolling */ 

overflow-y: auto; /* Enable vertical scrolling */
