text-decoration:blink

[angrytuna]

Does anyone know if you can make the blinking with style="text-decoration:blink" blink asynchronously?

Um... Well, I have this really short vocabulary... :( What does that last word mean?

CSS doesn't provide any mechanism for controlling the timing of the blinking. User agents (browsers) are not even required to support this property at all.

If it's that important to you then you'll have to implement a client-side scripting alternative.

*Looks up the word in dictionary* Oh that's what it means! LOL! Okay, there is a script that makes it work in both IE and Netscape and you can control the speed. It's a Javascript at www.dynamicdrive.com (note: this is not a real CSS property, it is a Javascript that makes a blinking effect on the page, and it works in both IE and Netscape.)

note: this is not a real CSS propertytext-decoration: blink is valid CSS.

[Jona]

I meant the Javascript's effect isn't a real CSS property.
