<blink> tags

Some time ago someone at netscape dreamed up this little trick which causes text to flash on and off

like this
sorry internet explorer viewers won't see this flashing

(Un)luckily the effect only works for netscape navigator. It is an often fround upon tag that can irritate rather than impress

Here's the HTML we used

<blink>like this</blink>

That's it !!

The simplest way is to recreate this to be seen in almost all browsers, is to use an animated .gif like this

You can download some from several sites (see our image links for some). Or try using animated .gif editor to make one yourself

Essentially all you need is 2 gif panes, one completely blank and one with the text in it (make sure the background is the same or transparent in both)

Alternatively the latest browsers can use some fancy JavaScript tricks to replicate or improve on the idea !!!

Check out our JavaScript links for some examples
