Re: HTML Tags: BLINK and MARQUEE
What Flintstone browser are you using that recognizes the BLINK tag?

Re: HTML Tags: BLINK and MARQUEE
So, this post is really annoying to you, is what you're saying? (For any lurkers who are not using Firefox: this paragraph is supposedly blinking.)
​
(Edited to remove BLINK tags.)
​
Do people actually do that? I mean, other than me (my middle name is "annoying").
​
But seriously, how can you consider Firefox "more advanced", when it dredges up long-discarded things like BLINK? I don't even know what BLINK looks like - unless I pull Firefox out of the recycle bin....
​
Is it really necessary to disable BLINK? Or to put up signs saying "No Parking for Zeppelins"?

Wow. Giant leap backward.
​
I did a Frankenstein on my Firefox just to see it. Never thought I'd see such a thing outside the Museum of Paleontology.
​
Move ahead to the twentieth century, Firefox.

I never have trouble with those things - all easily sorted. And what fun is life without a little wildlife, anyway?

Non-conformist? Moi? (How did you guess? )

Re: HTML Tags: BLINK and MARQUEE
If people to create really horrible web pages, we should allow web surfers to see how really horrible they are.
​
I had never even seen a blink before today and I still see a lot of "really horrible" web pages. People can do "really horrible" things with fully compliant, "conformist" pages. There's no excuse for implementing a tag that has no redeeming qualities.
