Lightbulb blinking link in I.E?

Hi!

This may sound stupid, but I was wondering is there a way you can make a blinking link work in Internet Explorer? I tried <blink><a href http://www.abc.com> Blinking Link </a></blink> It creates the link, but the link doesn't blink. I think the <blink> tag works only in Netscape right?

If anyone can help that be great!

Thank you

Regards,
Edmond

The <BLINK> tag only works in Netscape, you can use this as a work around for IE.
Code:
<body  onload="setInterval('blinkIt()',500)">

<script type="text/javascript">
function blinkIt() {
 if (!document.all) return;
 else {
   for(i=0;i<document.all.tags('blink').length;i++){
      s=document.all.tags('blink')[i];
      s.style.visibility=(s.style.visibility=='visible')  ?'hidden':'visible';
   }
 }
}
</script>
<blink>Am i blinking ?</blink>

It's sorta an unspoken etiquette to not make things blink on a website. It's distracting and generally discouraged. If this is for the general public, consider something that would be less likely to frustrate users that are less tolerant of flashing things on a web page.

Thumbs up

The blinking link WORKS!!

Thank you so much with this

I would agree that a blinking link on a public site would be rather annoying, but it is for internal use.

Thanks again

Edmond
