Flashing Text

Post by vivekjain »

Hi,
I am developing an application using PHP and MySQL. In one section, I am uploading few images, and during that process, we would like to have some text flashing, saying "Uploading images". I did try using a Javascript, which uses a timer, but had some issues with that. I am wondering would it be a problem to have the uploading process happen (PHP file takes care of that), and also having the text flash, until it is uploaded.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Animated gif's will stop in IE once the submit button is pressed. You can use Javascript or possibly Flash to create flashing text.

We have this in one of our word censors:

Code: Select all

<span style="color:red;text-decoration:blink">grilled spam</span>

although I think that only works in FF.

I think JS is going to be your best option.
