I'm a web administrator for my school. I want to create a link on the home
page that blinks (flashes). How do I do that?
 
<blink></blink>

As such, it is a deprecated tag and nol longer supported by
IE.

It was never supported by IE, it was a NS only tag, but you are correct in the NS6 and up no longer
support it.

Use CSS, text-decoration: blink

This also will only work in NS browsers and most likely will
be deprecated as well.

For a script that is multi-browser compatible, I recommend you Google for:

You could always do it as an animated GIF. :-)
 
It will also work in Opera and Firefox.
It isn't deprecated.

You will need an animation image editor

PS
Don't use any blinking text or images
- can cause harm to users w/ health problems (epilepsy)

That's CSS - Cascading Style Sheets
See www.w3schools.com for a tutorial.

lots of free ones..do a google for: "gif animator" program free
or any other search variations you can think of.
 
....you also need an image editor to create the 'tweens. Some image editors have gif animation ability built into them now, you may want to examine the image editor you're now using...you may have the ability and not know it!

short for "in-betweens" - start with an image, end with an image but you need to also create all the in-betweens ;-)
(an old animation term i believe)
