    Hi I_am_dhaval,

    The <.blink><./blink> Tag in HTML, is now a
    deprecated element; it is NO longer included for
    standard use.

    It will STILL work in SOME browsers, (but NO
    longer for iE; as it's been excluded from the
    latest versions', tags list).

    Instead, you can utilize CSS - but only works
    in some browsers, (again, NOT for iE).

    Or you can try JavaScript; which should work
    okay.

    Or you can use an Animated Graphic, or .swf
    (Flash
    ).

    Sincerely,

    *JstWc9~
    :cool:

    You could use the <marquee></marquee> tag which scrolls the text across the screen. This works in both IE and Firefox.

    IE6&7 don't support blink at all. IE8 supports the blink value for the text-decoration property, but it doesn't actually blink. :) Per the W3C, it isn't required.

    The best advice you'll get on this is to forget you ever heard of blink. It's use says the author is an amateur or is mired in 1997.

    cheers,

    gary

    Blink was hot during the 90's but now blink has been outdated so it is just a text decoration property,.
