Does anyone know how to make something blinking?

I tried <bink>Hello</blink> but it didn't work.

Thanks.

<blink>Text to blink goes here</blink>

Those are the correct tags, however it will only work in Netscape, not in Internet Explorer. If you really must have something blink you could make an animated GIF image. Just keep in mind that a lot of people are annoyed by stuff blinking at them ;}

Er...well, no I can't really show you. It's not as simple as making a webpage, but it is quite easy.

Do a search for tutorials on making animated GIFs. You'll need a paint program like Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop or something. you can find just about everything you need on the net. You can click this link:

to get you started on your search for tutorials. You might even be able to find the image you need at GifsNow.com (http://www.gifsnow.com/)

TWO STEPS TO INSTALL BLINKING TEXT:

1. Copy the coding into the HEAD of your HTML document
2. Add the last code into the BODY of your HTML document -->

STEP ONE: Paste this code into the HEAD of your HTML document

<HEAD>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<!-- This script and many more are available free online at -->
<!-- The JavaScript Source!! http://javascript.internet.com -->
<!-- Original: Premshree Pillai (premshree@hotmail.com ) -->
<!-- Web Site: http://www.qiksearch.com -->
<!-- Begin

window.onerror = null;
var bName = navigator.appName;
var bVer = parseInt(navigator.appVersion);
var NS4 = (bName == "Netscape" && bVer >= 4);
var IE4 = (bName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer"
&& bVer >= 4);
var NS3 = (bName == "Netscape" && bVer < 4);
var IE3 = (bName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer"
&& bVer < 4);
var blink_speed=100;
var i=0;

if (NS4 || IE4) {
if (navigator.appName == "Netscape") {
layerStyleRef="layer.";
layerRef="document.layers";
styleSwitch="";
}else{
layerStyleRef="layer.style.";
layerRef="document.all";
styleSwitch=".style";
}
}

//BLINKING
function Blink(layerName){
if (NS4 || IE4) {
if(i%2==0)
{
eval(layerRef+'["'+layerName+'"]'+
styleSwitch+'.visibility="visible"');
}
else
{
eval(layerRef+'["'+layerName+'"]'+
styleSwitch+'.visibility="hidden"');
}
}
if(i<1)
{
i++;
}
else
{
i--
}
setTimeout("Blink('"+layerName+"')",blink_speed);
}
// End -->
</script>

</HEAD>


STEP TWO: Copy this code into the BODY of your HTML document -->

<BODY>

<div id="prem_hint" style="position:relative; left:0; visibility:hidden" class="prem_hint">
<font color="#FF0000"><b>TYPE YOUR BLINKING TEXT HERE!</b></font>
</div>
<script language="javascript">Blink('prem_hint');</script>
