Blink is a wonderful HTML tag that pisses people off.

This one once worked in firefox:

<blink>text here</blink>

This one once worked in firefox:

<span style="text-decoration:blink">text here</span>

Why not combine the two?

<blink style="text-decoration:blink;">BLINK BLINK BLINK</blink>

Because it doesn't work anymore.

Better yet, put this in your header and all your blink tags will work (maybe not in webkit):

<script type="text/javascript">

<!--

if(document.all){

	window.setInterval(function(){

		var _b=document.all.tags('blink');

		for(x=0;x<_b.length;x++){

			if(_b[x].style.visibility=='hidden'){

				_b[x].style.visibility='visible';

			}else{

				_b[x].style.visibility='hidden';

			}

		}

	},500);

}

//-->

</script>

<style type="text/css"><!--blink{text-decoration:blink;}--></style>
