Flashing text, flashing "boarders". HOLY CRAP!!! is your client insane???
What possible value could these cheesy effects add to their site?
What are they thinking?
Ya know, if we maybe had that thing blinkin' a little, I betcha some folk
might 'nary on click on that little fellar, cuz that would be rilly
modern
and bleedin' edge and stuff like that thar. An' if enuff folk click on
it, I
shor 'nuff might be able to buy me thet new leeshurr sute - that would be
SWEEE - EEEE - EEET! Heck fire, they maht evun thinks it a one of them
thar
powno sites, and git rilly wurked up.
Flashing ads, whether animations or Flash(in the pan) are blocked in my
browser (Firefox, a modern browser) and never see the light of the day.
BTW, if boarders were flashing in my neighborhood, they may end up being
arrested.

Even if I can't flash the text, is there anyway to flash a boarder
around
the text. My text is currently in a single cell Table. If that would
flash, then I would not have to flash the text at all. Not sure which
is
harder/easier.
javascript.
<script type="text/javascript">
function doBlink() {
var b = document.all.tags("samp")
for ( i=0; i < b.length; i++)b.style.visibility =
(b.style.visibility == "" )? "hidden" : "" }
function startBlink() {
if (document.all)setInterval("doBlink()",1500)}
window.onload = startBlink;
</script>
Since the <blink> tag won't validate with W3C, I use the seldom used
<samp> tag which will validate
surround the text you want to blink with the samp tags like this.
<samp>This text will blink</samp>
The script is set to blink the text every 1.5 seconds. Do not set it
faster than 1 second, as it
can cause "light flicker syndrome" seizures in people prone to
Epileptic
seizures

I know this can be annoying but I really need to make a certain Text
Blink... for a short time. Can somebody tell me how this is
achieved?
