<!-- Initialize Bootstrap functionality -->
<script>
// Initialize tooltip component
$(function () {
  $('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip()
})

// Initialize popover component
$(function () {
  $('[data-toggle="popover"]').popover()
})
</script>

The Bootstrap carousel is also standards-compliant, as it is basically a Bootstrap version of a CSS marquee.

About Bootstrap Carousels

HTML Marquees

You can also use the <marquee> tag to create a marquee. You can make the text/images scroll from right to left, left to right, top to bottom, or bottom to top.

The <marquee> tag is non-standard HTML. Despite this, it has enjoyed widespread browser support. For a standards-compliant method, see CSS Marquees or Bootstrap Carousels.

If you can't view the examples, it's likely that your browser doesn't support the <marquee> tag.

Continuous scrolling text

This marquee causes the text to scroll continuously from right to left. Once it disappears from the left, it re-appears from the right.

<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="left">Your scrolling text goes here</marquee>

Slide-in text

This text slides in from the right, then stays where it is. You will need to refresh this page to see the effect again.

<marquee behavior="slide" direction="left">Your slide-in text goes here</marquee>

Text bouncing back and forth

<marquee behavior="alternate">Your bouncing text goes here</marquee>

Text Scrolling Upwards

<marquee  behavior="scroll" direction="up">Your upward scrolling text goes here</marquee>

Change the Scrolling Speed

<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="left" scrollamount="1">Slow scroll speed</marquee>
<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="left" scrollamount="10">Medium scroll speed</marquee>
<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="left" scrollamount="20">Fast scroll speed</marquee>

Scrolling Images

Simply replace the src="... part with the location of your own image.

<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="left">
<img src="/pix/smile.gif" width="100" height="100" alt="smile">
</marquee>

Images & Text (Both Scrolling)

Simply add your text under the image tag (but still within the marquee tags).

<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="left">
<img src="/pix/smile.gif" width="100" height="100" alt="smile">
<p>Sample text under a <a href="/html/codes/scrolling_images.cfm">scrolling image</a>.</p>
</marquee>
