I'm attempting to create a scrolling effect using jQuery but I'm encountering some issues. The code provided above is what I'm using for the marquee scroll functionality. Here's how I've implemented it:
<html>
<body>
<div class="content">
<div id="marquee">
<ul>
<li>...</li>
....
</ul>
</div>
</div></body>
</html>
However, the items are not scrolling at all. Can you help me identify any potential errors in the code I'm using?
