“The marquee blink” refers to HTML tags <marquee> and <blink>.
They were great tags even if w3 classifies them as obsolete features. In fact they never made their way to any w3 spec.
Back in time with <marquee> you were able to move your text horizontally or
vertically, at a personnalized speed! No script! No animated GIF! No CSS! Pure
HTML!
And the <blink> let you… blink your text or image or anything relevant!
The shiny effect produced by the use of those two simple tags is just amazing. In a minute one is able to transform a monotonous page into the page that will catch the attention.
At that this demo uses Javascript, as the blinking effect is not anymore implemented (at least in Chrome + FF).
