Make text blink
 

Important  Although the Netscape Navigator Internet browser renders <blink> </blink> tags as blinking text, most browsers do not support those tags.

To make text blink in your Web page, do the following:

  1. In Page view, at the bottom of the document window, click Design Button image.
  2. Select the text that you want to blink.
  1. In Page view, at the bottom of the document window, click Code Button image.
  2. In Code view, locate the selected text, and then place the <blink> </blink> tags inside the <p> </p> (paragraph) tags that surround the text.

    If you do this correctly, your code looks like the following:

    <p><blink>your text</blink></p>

  3. On the File menu, click Preview in Browser, and then select Netscape Navigator from the list.

ShowTip

Although blinking draws attention to your text, it is often difficult to read. The Web Accessibility Initiative of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) (World Wide Web Consortium (W3C): A consortium of commercial and educational institutions that oversees research and promotes standards in all areas related to the World Wide Web.) advises Web developers to enable users of their sites to turn off the blinking text. Additionally, many Internet users avoid looking at anything that looks like an advertisement, including blinking text. Instead, consider formatting the text in bold or italic to add emphasis to your text.
