Purely in CSS, you can do close behavior, but handling all parameters of <marquee> ms-tag just in Css isn't possible ( setting speed isn't done by same way at all, in example ), but you can reproduce it with JS...

Check this code:

I've started to write some stuff to do marquee substitute... It's already working as pure CSS, but still work in progress ( in fact stopped: I doesn't know if and when I will continue :P ) on JS handler part ( but it's far advanced anyway )...

Answer 2

Yes it is.

Edit:
@Álvaro Thank you for correcting me.

The element is obsolete anyway.

Answer 3

AFAIK <marquee> is not part of the HTML standard. It's a proprietary tag by MS Internet Explorer.

Answer 4

@Patrik: I didn't want to correct you✌, just wanted to share my opinion after having googled a little bit. And yes, we shouldn't use <marquee> anymore –maybe with JS or CSS transitions one could achieve the same result.
