 ## Description
 
-A scroll container's **`::scroll-marker-group`** pseudo-element represents a **scroll marker group**. This is a container that automatically contains any {{cssxref("::scroll-marker")}} pseudo-elements generated on itself or its descendants. This allows them to be positioned and laid out as a group, and is typically used when creating a CSS carousel to provide a scroll position indicator. The individual scroll markers can be used to navigate to their associated content items.

 A key feature of carousels is **pagination** — the items feel like separate pieces of content that are moved between rather than forming one continuous section of content. You might show one item at a time or several items on each carousel "page". When several items are visible, you might show an entirely new group of items each time the "next" or "previous" button is pressed. Alternatively, you could add a single new item to one end of the list while moving the item at the other end out of view.
 
-Creating carousels with JavaScript can be quite brittle and challenging to implement. They require scripts to associate scroll markers with the items they represent while continuously updating the scroll buttons to keep them operating correctly. When carousels are created using JavaScript, the accessibility of the carousel and the associated controls has to be added in.

 In this section, we will add scroll markers to the carousel, which involves three main features:
 
 - The {{cssxref("scroll-marker-group")}} property is set on the scroll container element. It needs to be set to a non-`none` value for the {{cssxref("::scroll-marker-group")}} pseudo-element to be generated; its value specifies where the scroll marker group appears in the carousel's tab order and layout box order (but not DOM structure) — `before` puts it at the start, before the scroll buttons, while `after` puts it at the end.

 - {{cssxref("::scroll-marker")}} pseudo-elements exist inside the children and {{cssxref("::column")}} fragments of a scroll container ancestor, and represent their scroll markers. These are collected inside the ancestor's {{cssxref("::scroll-marker-group")}} for layout purposes.
 
 To begin with, the list's `scroll-marker-group` property is set to `after`, so the `::scroll-marker-group` pseudo-element is placed after the list's DOM content in the focus and layout box order; this means it comes after the scroll buttons:

 Next, the list's `::scroll-marker-group` pseudo-element is positioned relative to the carousel using CSS anchor positioning, similar to the scroll button's, except that it is horizontally centered on the carousel using a {{cssxref("justify-self")}} value of `anchor-center`. The group is laid out using flexbox, with a {{cssxref("justify-content")}} value of `center` and a {{cssxref("gap")}} of `20px` so that its children (the `::scroll-marker` pseudo-elements) are centered inside the `::scroll-marker-group` with a gap between each one.
