the nonstandard idea, <blink>yo</blink> is not a legal HTML tag, clearly the standards people there have F- in web development, what else is new

the goal on my site was to make the search menu item blink to call attention to it more easily

thoughts and suggestions?

JavaScript probably can get it done?

Probably one of the best decisions they ever made. The internet is a far better place without blinking text.

Or just please don't

Yes, Javascript with an interval timer. Or for CSS3 I found this:

Code: Select all

<style>
    .blink {
      animation: blink 1s steps(5, start) infinite;
      -webkit-animation: blink 1s steps(5, start) infinite;
    }
    @keyframes blink {
      to {
        visibility: hidden;
      }
    }
    @-webkit-keyframes blink {
      to {
        visibility: hidden;
      }
    }
</style>
This is <span class="blink">blinking</span> text.
