Why is the marquee tag deprecated? (Not supported in HTML5)

Question

One of my favourite tag when I learnt web design was the marquee tag with "onMouseOver and onMouseOut" properties Viz: <marquee behavior="alternate" onMouseOver="this.stop()" onMouseOut="this.start()" scrollamount="30"> Catch the moving text :) </marquee>.

Since it's now deprecated, how can I achieve same using jQuery ?

Answer 1

You can use CSS3 animations. No need to JavaScript (if you want a simple marquee).
