    Netscape supports a "<blink>" tag for blinking text.
    Internet Explorer supports a "<marquee>" tag for scrolling text.

    ...neither of which should ever be used unless you're intentionally trying to make a terrible looking web site. But if you are trying to make a terrible looking web site, might I suggest you stop in here for some free samples of "snazzy" animated backgrounds.

    You don't. Please... you don't really want to do that. Please... I'm begging here. Don't use web design for the powers of evil. Don't do it.

    No blink.
    No scroll.
    No page transitions.

    Please.

    Yeah it does, if you have a hard time understanding why, try browsing this site for a while:

    http://www.websitesthatsuck.com/

    It's a *really* funny site, but they make some great points as well.

    And when the hell are splash pages going to go away! Yes! I clicked on the link, I typed in the damn URL, I know which freakin' site I'm on! Don't waste my time with some dumb flash movie, or an extra click.

    So in summary...

    No blinking
    No marquees
    No page transitions
    No splash pages

    Since we're looking for weird noisy stuff, I've always wanted a copy of that lightning ball animated gif that I first saw sometime around 1996, I have always wanted a copy but I could never find one... Someone was using it as a background on a Mac when I saw it...

    Splash pages can have a purpose and have their place... there's almost no excuse to blink or scroll.

    HTML supports any font that is installed on the users system. (as far as I know.) So the question you must ask is, "What fonts does my intended audience probably have installed on their systems?" If you can't answer that question, check this out:

    http://www.codestyle.org/css/font-fa...sResults.shtml

    That link will show you the fonts that are most commonly found on a Windows system. There's a link for Unix system as well...

    Hope that helps.
