Marquee Tag Still Works, Is It Okay To Use It?
Solution 1:
http://www.w3.org/wiki/HTML/Elements/marquee
"Example: No, really. don't use it."
I think that says it all.
Solution 2:
Do not use <marquee>
According to Wikipedia
The marquee tag is a non-standard HTML element which causes text to scroll up, down, left or right automatically. The tag was first introduced in early versions of Microsoft's Internet Explorer, and was compared to Netscape's blink element, as a proprietary non-standard extension to the HTML standard with usability problems. It is deprecated by the W3C and not advised by them for use in any HTML documents.
Solution 3:
Short answer
You should ask: "Why not to use it?"
If you need stuff scrolling, then use it. All browsers supports it.
BUT Marquee can be distracting. The human eye is attracted to movement, and marquee text is constantly moving. (via Wiki)

Solution 4:
It really depends on what you mean by "okay".
Sure, it works in most browsers (even though not all browsers respond the same - some have different default settings, some support only a subset of the attributes; your example will work roughly the same in the majority of browsers though).
But think about the users! The poor users! Is it really OK to torture them like that? If you put marquees in your webpages, what will be next? <blink>?
