jasonc Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I have been trying to find a way to get the text to blink on an IPhone but for some reason my friend is not able to find out why it does not work. I have tried the standard <blink> tag and also the javascript method, but neither work on the IPhone. Does anyone know what else I can try out to get this working as most people using this site would more than likely be using an IPhone or a Blackberry phones.

Axeia Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 There is no standard <blink> tag It's not part of any of the HTML standards. try <span style="text-decoration: blink">You might be able to see me.. every now and then</span> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/196681-blinking-text-works-on-ie-ff-my-nokia-5800-but-not-on-an-iphone-is-there-hack/#findComment-1033792 Share on other sites More sharing options...

isedeasy Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 There is a reason why it's not working on an iPhone... Blinking text died in the 90's let it rest in peace!

patriklko Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 The best method of coding for blinking text is using JavaScript... other tags are not compatible to all the browsers so try to use javascript, if it not working then check may be some parameter is not properly defined or supported... otherwise javascript is more suitable then any other concept...
