Re: Blinking words

The CSS variant is supported only by Mozilla & Opera. Older versions of IE I believe supported the <blink> tag
Some browsers do the tag, others do the style, most don't do it- no one really likes it

I suppose one could always try <span style="text-decoration:blink"><blink>Blinky Text</blink></span>

I agree

Luckily it doesn't work in most modern browsers. It is distracting
that something blinks on a page. Irritates most people after the first
couple of seconds.
If you absolutely will use it (it is your own customers you scare
away) the correct way is using CSS, text-decoration: blink.
