Poor blink tag. Nobody uses it any more.



Day!
You'd think I was looking forward to the show.

For some reason I thought the blink tag was deprecated.

I was surprised to find that Firefox supported it.

No doubt because it's Netscape overhauled. Back during Netscape vs. IE, I remember IE stopped supporting the blink tag after 4.0 or something, while Netscape always continued support for it...

These exact 3 comments went through my mind when I read the original post.
I guess I got beat :(

OK, you've gone and done it this time. You've truly stumped me.
What is a blink tag and how come nothing is blinking on your post? :-o
All I see is a colour pun.

The blink tag is one that Netscape introduced into its HTML specs many years back. I think that (mercifully) many modern browsers no longer support it.

As a web-designer tool it was a good way to earn instant scorn.

Well, HappyWeb has permablink. So there.
