Yes, there is a <blink> tag that most web browsers support. <html><blink>Yes, it may seem kind of cool that you can have blinking text on a page.</blink></html> And yes, it may attract attention to that text. However, you should REALLY think twice about using that tag, and if you do, you need to come up with a really good reason for doing so. Why? Many people believe that blinking text is bad, amateurish, evil, or all of the above. You do not want your webpage to look like it came from an amateur; I am guessing that since you are reading this you want a nice looking web page. If you want animated text, stick to animated gifs and do something besides just blinking. Your users will thank you for it (well, maybe they won't, but they probably won't go running away from your website for that reason, either). |
