@TheBearMayAug 17.2004 — MstrBob is correct in saying that it can't be done with HTML, but it can be done with JavaScript:

[code=php]<script type="text/javascript">
...
var dispVal=true;
function blink(){
if (dispVal) {
dispVal=false;
document.getElementById("Span1").style.visibility="visible";
}
else {
dispVal=true;
document.getElementById("Span1").style.visibility="hidden";
}
}
...
<body onload="setInterval('blink()', 500)">
<span id="Span1">Some text to blink</span>[/code]

@MstrBobAug 17.2004 — I'm saying that it SHOULDN'T be done, as well. Why would somebody want that? It's a rather annoying affect. What if someone with epilepsy came to your site?:p

@PhillMcAug 18.2004 — Although I agree with Bob, I also agree with Rizzo.

Though, it is my opinion that such an effect is quite annoying; almost as bad as background midi's, ugh.

Now there's an idea!? I don't always agree with the idea behind a request for help, but sometimes the mental exercise stimulates another, better idea...

Pyro, nice site! LOL. ? Would definitely get old very quick.
