Blinking on the Blink

[Doubleknotspy]

How do I make a letter, word or line blink?
This did not work:
<p><blink>Special</blink></p>
nor
<blink>special</blink>

I hear there is only one correct use for <blink> and it has to do with someone's cat.
If you really want to know, it won't work in anything other than NN(to my knowledge), your code is correct though.

The more modern way to do it (if you really must - it can be very annoying to many people) is:

<p style="text-decoration: blink">Special</p>

However, the spec does not require user agents to support this (and a quick test would seem to indicate FF does while IE6 does not).

You can make somewhat less annoying versions using javascript, having the text color cycle between various colors. Of course, this will be limited to users with Javascript enabled (a high percentage, but not all).

A final alternative is to make an animated image with a blinking or other eye-catching effect, then use it where you want the blinking text (being sure to supply an ALT value in the IMG tag for non-graphic browsers).

Well, there are much more users with Javascript enabled than there are users that don't use IE6.
