On: Only 90s Web Developers Remember This

[antics]

A couple months ago, I decided to write a very short tutorial/introduction to the program `telnet`. I ended up deciding to use the <blink> tag to make a cursor that blinks similar to how it blinks in the terminal.

Hilariously, I discovered that <blink> is actually no longer implemented in Chrome.

The one legitimate use!

I ended up mocking it with JavaScript. EDIT: it's here if you want to see how the cursor turned out! http://blog.nullspace.io/day-208.html

Do you mean <blink> is no longer implemented in blink?

I don't see any cursor blinking in Firefox. :(

Arrrrgh, thanks for pointing it out. I don't use Firefox, and I don't know a damn thing about web programming.
