Blinking text tag only works in Netscape?

[Jake Bunce]

The blinking tag:

<blink>blah blah blah</blink> only works in Netscape for me. I've tried multiple version of IE but it never works. Is there a slightly modified tag that works in both or something?

[Wayne Luke]

I would only use <blink> if you wish to upset your members. It doesn't work in IE because it is a Netscape Proprietary tag and not part of the HTML specification, nor was it ever included in the specification.

However there are complex workarounds if you must blink. Check out DynamicDrive.com

Hey guys, take it easy on the man. There are some VERY good and LEGITIMATE uses for the blink tag.

Just [blink]ONE[blink] example:

An article on what NOT to do on webpages.

Yeah, it doesn't work on my screen either, but I thought I'd leave it for the pleasure of those netscrape users :)

it doesn't work because these forums don't have the conversion code for the to <blink> and to </blink>
