real_illusions Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Please god no..blinking text is horrible, unprofessional, distracting..arggh!!Just try something else to get the users attention rather than flashing text:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synook Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 The blink tag is browser-specific, as you have found out. You can use setInterval in JavaScript to create a timed style change.Note that is bad for accessibility (and usability) to have blinking text, however.

Ingolme Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 The CSS text-decoration property can make text blink:http://w3schools.com/css/pr_text_text-decoration.aspBut you better have a good reason for it. Blinking text is rarely, if ever, good on a website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
