i completely agree, but as the wearer of the Pendant of Pedantry i must point out that the blink tag is not used in that page.

(which i still like y'all. also, aubergine is one of my favorite colours.)

Yah, I know it's not used in that particular page, I just made a reflection in general about the abomination that is the blink-tag

oh, right, well carry on ! it's true we're in a thread about egregious code, so that is a perfectly relevant remark.

the marquee tag is pretty inexcusable as well.

True, but the marquee was a Microsoft invention from the start, wasn't it? blink was actually supported by the people who came up with the whole HTML thingy in the first place, no? And they really should have known better

Ah, my bad, blink was invented by Netscape so it's not really supported by official HTML standard. And according too Wikipedia:

The inventor of the blink tag, Lou Montulli, has said repeatedly in interviews that he considers the blink tag to be "The worst thing I've ever done for the Internet."

There is a danger that by giving him the ZC's he travelled back in time in such a state that, at that point in time, he thought the <blink> tag was a good idea. ZCs can do that to your mind. So I'm told. Third or forth hand.

So punishing him for creating the tag may be what actually created it....

Yes !
I knew there had to be at least a correct use for this pattern !
Now we can add a note in Lovecraft's "The Colour Out of Space" so that people can begin to realise what it is.

Or maybe I can use this page to take over the world, with my faithful assistant Pinky !!
