> Have you ever shoved a <blink> into a <marquee> tag? Pixar gets all the accolades today, but in the 90s this was a serious feat of computer animation. By combining these two tags, you were a trailblazer.

Except that blink only existed in Netscape and marquee only existed in IE, and you could not have a webpage with both before around 2004, when firefox got support for marquee. At that point both tags were almost universally despised.



This does not mean I did not tried ;) (back when I was 10 years old, and Webmastering all around and thinking I was awesome)


I have a feeling either Frontpage or Macromedia Dreamweaver had support for using both together in their WYSIWYG editor...


Long before 2004 you could use Opera for that.
