try CSS text-decoration: blink;
not sure about cross-browser-ness |
text-decoration: blink;

Note: The "blink" value is not supported in IE, Chrome, or Safari. |
make it an animated gif
|
I just turn my monitor off and on.
Sometimes it's a little more blink than I want but that's life |

i guess make it a gif. or if it needs to be dynamic you could pass it thru a swf as a variable but that may be overkill depending on the application |
the only cross-browser solution I can think of is http://www.antiyes.com/jquery-blink-plugin

No need for a plugin if you just need an element or two (jQuery style):
Code:
<script type="text/javascript"> |

A blinking link is bad usability.

Years ago when I used to design pop ups for Hustler I did the following that worked well:
1. placed animated gif as table background. 2. Wrote hyperlinked text like normal in the table. The background gif brought attention to the text and got clicks. The main trick was how I created the background gif. I made a color pattern like salt & pepper on the TV. Then I copied/pasted it over a few pixels over for animation 2. When animated this produced an effect like salt & pepper on the TV. Just an idea on how you can play with gifs to bring attention to regular text/links. |
why do you want to make it blink.... it's so overused
