in my css i have set up likes to blink when you hover over them.
body a:hover, body a:active {
color: #ffffff;
font-size: 10.2pt; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: blink;
}
it works fine, but can i get it to blink faster? if so how?No, not with CSS, anyway it only works in Mozilla.Why on earth would you want your links to blink? Don't you think that might be just a little bit annoying?Annoying and dangerous. From the Accessibility Guidelines:
People with photosensitive epilepsy can have seizures triggered by flickering or flashing in the 4 to 59 flashes per second (Hertz) range with a peak sensitivity at 20 flashes per second as well as quick changes from dark to light (like strobe lights).

That I don't see a problem with, but you'll need to use JavaScript to get that kind of effect.
The W3C was speaking about sudden, repeated color changes. I don't see anything wrong with slow, repeated changes in color saturation of text, but there's no CSS method for doing this.
EDIT: GAAH! I just reread the post! It's morning, gimme a chance to wake up... wait for it...

OK. I'm all here. Blinking faster is definetely not recommended. You might be interested in reading the HTML Hell Page (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/html-hell.html">http://www.catb.org/~esr/html-hell.html</a><!-- m -->). You'll notice the first thing discussed is blinking text
If you've ever studied quantum theory (OK, I know, I just lost a big chunk of the audience), this is pretty funny when you think about it: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://ars.userfriendly.org/cartoons/?id=20030427&mode=classicYeah">http://ars.userfriendly.org/cartoons/?i ... lassicYeah</a><!-- m --> I would suggest not to use blinking links, I find it hard with advertisements that change. I found it very hard concentrating on this site when I was using it earlier in the year. <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.htmlgoodies.com">www.htmlgoodies.com</a><!-- w -->
I find it hard to concentrate when theres flashing stuff, I even have problems on the TV you know people from the UK? Press your red button tab that appears in the top right corner of the screen. It just burns my eyes for some reason, I have to tell people to press backup on the remote so it goes away.
So yeah dont use blinking text links.ok.. if it can't be done and only works in mozilla i'll leave it alone then. but i only meant blinking when you hover over the link. and Only in the navbar at the top. the way my site is set up it wouldn't be annoying.Macromedia Flash is the best thing to use for seizure inducing web graphics. Not everyone will be able to see it though. People with slower computers wont be able to see things blink very fast either.
Lame example (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://buildingboom.com/beta/~neukz/hyperblink.html">http://buildingboom.com/beta/~neukz/hyperblink.html</a><!-- m -->)ROFL!!!
I wonder if Macromedia would use that as an ad campaign?
