The thing that surprised me most about this is that the marquee element is still supported: I'd just assumed it had long since gone the way of the blink tag. And then this got me wondering whether, if you'd done this back in say the year 2000, would it have been possible to animate images in this way back then? I certainly saw plenty of uses of the marquee tag (although my recollection was it got a fairly comprehensive slagging even in the HTML4 book I had at the time, published in 1998, so it was already pretty heavily discouraged) but it was always text, never images. I also don't remember seeing any sites with nested marquee tags, but I wonder if that would have worked too? Interesting piece anyway.
