Blinking text, image supporting all browser

I want a blinking text as well as image code which works fine on all browsers.
<blink>demo text </blink>
This works fine in Chrome but not on firefox or Ie or any other browser.

Suggest appropriate measures or alternative methods.

<blink> is a non-standard element, so you cannot rely on any browser to support it.

Blinking text is generally not a good idea, as it can cause problems for some visitors. Using something like JavaScript to blink the text once or twice on page load and then display it as static text might be your best option. Otherwise, you could probably use an animated gif, if it’s just a word or two.

I’d strongly suggest against using blink though. Think of the users!

Edit-should change her name to NinjaBear.

Can you say “1995”… :smile:

I don’t want any blinking text :smile:

Further to the answers given above you could do it for modern browsers using keyframes but be careful not to annoy your visitors.

Excellent link which simply explains animation.

Note to self: bookmark for future reference.
