Alternate : with UP down direction

direction='up' behavior ='aleternate' Code:

Starting from Right and stopping at center

This is not a direct solution by using Marquee properties but can give idea on how to manage this tag for different requirements.

Start from Right & stop at center

<div  align="right" style="width:50%;float:right ;">
<marquee  direction="left" >Start from Right & stop at center</marquee>
</div>
