I wouldn't call blinking text popular. Very few sites actually use either <blink> or 'text-decoration: blink' because most people either know how annoying it is or won't bother cause it doesn't work in IE. > (Certainly, for me, blinking would suggest a site with little useful > content.) Agreed. The only places I ever see blinking text (usually done with animated gifs or flash) is for advertisments which is never useful content. -- Lachlan Hunt http://www.lachy.id.au/ lachlan.hunt@lachy.id.au
