blinking test

[RickP]

I want to have text in a frame blink on and off. I've
tried the <blink> tag, but it doesn't work. Any ideas why,
and what is the fix, please???

<blink> is only supported by NN
- not recommended since blinking text is dangerous for some people to view

<blink> is only supported in Netscape.

The other guys will probably shoot me but:
In IE it's done with javascript.
Paste the following between the head tags
in the page:

<script type="text/javascript">
function doBlink() {
var b = document.all.tags("BLINK")
for ( i=0; i < b.length; i++)b.style.visibility = (b.style.visibility
== "" )? "hidden" : "" }
function startBlink() {
if (document.all)setInterval("doBlink()",1000)}
window.onload = startBlink;
</script>

Then surround the text you want to blink with
blink tags like this:
<blink>This text will blink</blink>

A word of caution: this script is set to blink
1 second on and 1 second off.
DO NOT make it blink faster as it can cause
seizures in people prone to epileptic seizures.
via an effect known as light flicker syndrome.

That tag is not supported on all browers. I tried it once and it never
worked, and forgot about it. I started using Mozilla Firebird along with IE
and then I noticed blinking. I checked the code and soon remembered.
Funny, I didn't think I was that old to forget...

That's actually a cool and clever script.

I still hate the blinking effect, but the script, I like.

I'm going to save this and see if I can use it for
something else.

Jim, be my guest.
I must admit I'm not the original author,
and honestly can't remember where I got it.

However I did modify it somewhat to make it
work when I found it.
