Make Blinking Text Without the Text Tag or JavaScript
What a lot of people would like is a way to make blinking text in Internet Explorer. There is one very long, hard way using Javascript, but why waste so much energy when there is a simple way. The "blink" tag doesn't work, so why not use marquees?
Steps
Sample HTML
Doc:HTML Marquee Code for Blinking Text
Making Blinking Text
- Start by putting a marquee tag.(<marquee>)
- Then, put a style="" inside that tag (<marquee style="">)
- Put height:wateverheight;width:wateverwidth inside the style="" (<marquee style="height:20;width:200">)
- After the style="" put scrollamount="watevernumber" Make sure that number is exactly the same as the width! (<marquee style="height:20;width:200" scrollamount="200">)
- Put a scrolldelay="watevernumber". This number can be whatever you want it to be. Just remember: the lower the number, the faster the blink. (<marquee style="height:20;width:200" scrollamount="200" scrolldelay="500">)
- Type in your text (<marquee style="height:20;width:200" scrollamount="200" scrolldelay="500">Blinky Text!)
- Put </marquee> at the end. <marquee style="height:20;width:200" scrollamount="200" scrolldelay="500">Blinky Text!</marquee>)
Tips
- Don't use it for normal text. Only use it for things like "NEW!" or other things that you want to be noticed.
- Try not to overuse this effect. It gets very annoying.
Warnings
- Don't forget to add the </marquee> tag at the end, or the whole page will be flashing.
- Both marquee and blinking text are deprecated, and can make your website look very bad.
