Gary · September 07, 2007, 11:46:45 AM

It makes your text blink.

It was requested a few weeks ago, which was the only reason why I made it.

Well, I just notice that now there is this text line
"$txt['blink'] = 'Blink';"
at the very top of my home page!

Open up Modifications.english.php and then move that code to be before the closing ?>

Works fine on Firefox, but doesn't seem to work on IE7. Strange.

karlbenson · September 09, 2007, 12:42:36 PM

@ALM - I've had a similar issue with my mods not adding before the ?> using position="end"

I've tried with various varieties and had to change them all to position="after" using the ?> for the search

Any ideas ?

I tested it on you forum, and then checked in google to be sure, but IE6 or IE7 don't support text-decoration:blink
(and thats css1)

I love IE7 despites its memory leaks. And despite it being one of the least used bits of css, I can't believe MS didn't include support for it.

Well thats not correct actually. IE recognises the value, it just doesnt do any blinking.

Gary · September 09, 2007, 01:49:47 PM

In otherwords, blame Microsoft for it not working.

-ALM

karlbenson · September 09, 2007, 01:55:20 PM

exactly.

You can either not use it, or use <blink></blink> instead, but that is not recommended for accessibility purposes.

I hope your not too disappointed, but its not a big deal. Especially when blink was voted in the top 10 most annoying html bits (after Marquee) (loved by the kiddies and spammers/advertisers)
