Blinking Text

[techforce]

How come Netscape supports Blinking Font, and none of the MS products like
Front page or IE will show the blinking font?

 

[Tom Pepper Willett]

Because the blinking font is proprietary to NS. Just like the FP marquee is
proprietary to IE.

Different browsers have different proprietary features. It's just the way
it is.

You can make text blink using JavaScript or a Java applet -- but the
attribute is not supported by IE...

 

[Steve Easton]

Using javascript it is:

<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()",1500)}
window.onload = startBlink;
</script>

<<blink>this text will blink</blink>

The interval in this script is set a 1.5 seconds. Do **not** set it lower ( faster ) as it can
cause seizures in people susceptible to epileptic seizures.
( It's called "light flicker syndrome" )

You can have blinking with CSS/stylesheet.

But blinking is now considered non-[rpfessional.
