function blink(id)
{
var text = document.getElementById(id);
text.style.display = (text.style.display == 'none') 'block' : 'none';
}
window.onload = function()
{
setInterval('blink()', 100);
}

 

Untested. But somehting like that.

 

And yes, kudos to nadeemshafi9, you could easily find something like that on google.

I had to check the dates on this thread, cause I was sure it must be from '99, not '09. Has anyone actually used blinking text this millennium?

you can use css to make text blink

 

use some span tags and set the style i think it comes under text-decoration then just use blink as the attribute

 

i.e.

 

<span style="text-decoration:blink;">some text you want to blink</span>

And I tought text-decoration: blink didn't work in IE.

dunno lol, as quoted is it ever used any more, it is the worst effect that i can think of as the page viewer has to look at the text for longer to see what it says, using bold underline and italic effects are much more productive.

Yeah, lol, come to think of it, I have never seen this property used since...I've been alive.

Please note, blinking text is very annoying and should only be used if needed to get the users attention to that area. Even then, only make it blink a few times.
