This was at least kind of possible (not sure if it worked only for images or also other elements) with Internet Explorer 4 [1] in 1997, almost two decades ago.

This was at least kind of possible (not sure if it worked only for images or also other elements) with Internet Explorer 4 [1] in 1997, almost two decades ago. It was obviously non-standard.

- cordite 12y agoAlthough non-standard, Microsoft sure did several novel things back in the day here. Then they decided not to do the actual standards correctly and held a lot of things back since nobody updated these things. On the topic of Microsoft and the web, ActiveX gets a lot of bad rep (and for good reason), though it seems like they were trying something akin to web components back then. It worked better in actual applications than the web though.
