Blink is Back

Posted by ryan at 09:06 PM in internet . | 8 Comments

Have any of you Firefox users noticed that <blink></blink> tags are back?!

I'm surfin' like its 1995 baby!

Funny thing is, I realized this when I was on a webpage that had not been updated since 1997. The site was complete with blink tags and the old "under construction" graphic that was so popular in the mid-late 90s.

geez, i guess it edits out html tags even when you put in white space... smart... and annoying...

Yeah, you can't enter any html in a comment.

As with all of disjointed, if you want to use reserved characters like tag brackets, you have to use the "escaped" versions, &lt;, &gt;, etc..

It works on Opera too! ;)

Touché Peefy, that's what I was going to say - the blinking is not reserved for the FireFox bandwagoners, Operators/Operaites have it too ^^
