Do you know what the quirk is called? Is there a blogpost detailing this strange method? Is there any mention of it in the web standards sites?

- lolinder 5y agoI don't believe it's a quirk. Browsers are supposed treat tags they don't recognize basically the same as a <div> (or some other reasonable default presentation). It's intentionally designed that way for forward compatibility. We rely on this behavior when we provide some content inside an <object> tag for browsers that don't support it.

- runarberg 5y agoFun fact: <blink> is an HTMLUnknownElement. What GGGP did is essentially the same as: blink { animation: blink 1s steps(2, jump-none) infinite; } @keyframes blink { to { opacity: 0; } } Now when you write <blink> in your HTML you will essentially get an HTMLUnknownElement with the specific style of blinking every ½ second.
