Display the current date and time using HTML and Javascript with scrollable effects in hta application

Question

I have the below java-script to display the current date in the given format Mon Jun 2 17:54:28 UTC+0530 2014 in a hta(html application), now I want to make this appear in a way like Welcome the current date of my system: Mon Jun 2 17:54:28 UTC+0530 2014 and this text should be a having scrollable affects for eg: one moving from right to left.

I tried to use the below tag to get a scrollable text but how can I call this java-script variable in the <marquee> tag so that I get the today's date and time also as a part of the scrollable affects but it is not working for my HTML page.

Kindly let me know how to rectify this issue

HTML CODE:

<marquee behavior="scroll" bgcolor="yellow" loop="-1" width="30%">
  <i><font color="blue"><strong>Welcome</strong> Today's date is : </font></i>
</marquee> 

JAVASCRIPT TO DISPLAY THE CURRENT DATE AND TIME:

 <script language="javascript">
 var today = new Date();
 document.write(today);
 </script>

With marquee tag.

   <i>
      <font color="blue">
        Today's date is : 
        <strong>
         <span id="time"></span>
        </strong>

Without marquee tag and with CSS.

HTML

<p class="marquee">
    <span id="dtText"></span>
</p>

CSS

.marquee {
   width: 350px;
   margin: 0 auto;
   background:yellow;
   white-space: nowrap;
   overflow: hidden;
   box-sizing: border-box;
   color:blue;
   font-size:18px;
}

.marquee span {
   display: inline-block;
   padding-left: 100%;
   text-indent: 0;
   animation: marquee 15s linear infinite;
}

.marquee span:hover {
    animation-play-state: paused
}

@keyframes marquee {
    0%   { transform: translate(0, 0); }
    100% { transform: translate(-100%, 0); }
}

JS

var today = new Date();
document.getElementById('dtText').innerHTML=today;
