Things that are wrongs with your browser
It's not this webpage that's screwed up, it's your browser!
This page looks ridiculous in Netscape Navigator AND Internet Explorer.
The blink tag
This Netscape tag gets top billing because I hate it the most. It is
the crown jewel of shit. Is there anything more annoying than text that
blinks? Do you really need text that blinks in order to draw my
attention? Shouldn't you just consider rewriting your web page to
emphasize the important part? Well, then, that's the problem isn't it?
You use the blink tag because you don't know how to write.
<blink>
All your text goes here. Blink on, dude!

Real comments
Unreadable fonts
Microsoft assumes that everybody on the web is
running Windows (or soon will be), thus they should have all Windows
"features", such as fonts. Like Wingdings. I love Wingdings. I think
that more people should typeset their entire web pages with Wingdings,
don't you?
<font face="Wingdings">
All your text goes here.
</font>
The marquee tag
White-on-white text
Should I really be able to set the background color and the text color
to be the same? Why, why, why would I ever want to do that? Shouldn't
I be able to easily reset the page to a default color scheme? (Yes I
know that I can just highlight the text using my mouse, but I shouldn't
have to.)
It is arguable that eye-hurting color schemes, such as green-on-orange,
are worse than the simply annoying white-on-white, but I'm not so
sure.
<font color="#ffffff">
All your text goes here.
</font>
Bad links
Be sure to click on all these links! Some of them are really fun!
Ask yourself: should a malformed web link really be able to crash your
browser? And if it can, do you then want your browser to be tightly
integrated with your operating system?
Incomplete tables
This text is inside of a table without a closing tag. Older version of
Netscape don't render this text correctly.
