I can replace JS + CSS animation with one simple <marquee> tag… 😄

Hell yes. (Honestly I thought that the marquee tag didn’t work anymore, but I just looked it up and it’s alive and kicking!)

Do you have any examples? I agree and have been trying to do the same but always want to learn what others are doing!

Obviously these aren't at parity yet, but it's wild how little it took to get the "after" version working…

Not yet, but I hope to replace a lot of unnecessary code on nachi.org with modern CSS alternatives. I have a proof-of-concept but it's not anywhere near ready to deploy.

Love that. Curious, what else aside from popover have you find yourself replacing a lot of?

I saw a post once that said "Developing for IE6 was a lot like Woodstock. Nobody can explain it, you just had to be there". I'm so glad those days are long over.

Haha, that feels about right. There are definitely things that I still do to this day that are probably 100% unnecessary, but I lived through the early days of web design… frames -> tables -> floats -> flexbox -> grid

Spent a lot of time at Yahoo making sure things ran on IE52, because it was the best free browser available to people who either could not or would not pay for OSX. So many scrollbar issues....

It's wild how many hours of my life used to be spent browser testing, adding conditional comments or using CSS syntax hacks (star hack? backslash hack?) to code around little quirks. Nowadays, I maybe have to worry about that stuff once or twice a year at most…
