Yeah. I don't actually like blink myself, I simply made this thing because it was requested.

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.

This is a great example of why so many web designers and developers hate Microsoft. They can't support things that are valid, but they don't seem to have a problem trying to invent their own standards (ability to change the style of the scrollbar with CSS, fancy text filters (glow, shadow, etc.)...).

I complain about Microsoft my fair share.

But when webdeveloping I usually have ten times more issues with Firefox than IE (even when designing to w3c standards).  And on Experts-Exchange where I discussed this, many experts agreed with me.  It all comes down to quirks. Every browser has them.

I would like to see colored scrollbars added to w3c standards.  Glad to see Opera has been supporting it for some time too now.

If you are using Internet Explorer nothing happens.  Must be Firefox or Opera.

I don't know if the creator use the blink tag ;).

But it is possible to do this with a small script, and this can be loaded if the Internet explorer is in use ;D. (SMF try to detect the current browser so i think it's possible to insert in the index.template.php somehow :X).


<SCRIPT>
function ieBlinkForMe() {
  // Blink, Blink, Blink...
  var blink = document.all.tags("blink")
  for (var i=0; i < blink.length; i++)
    blink[i].style.visibility = blink[i].style.visibility == "" ? "hidden" : ""
}

function startBlink() {
  // Make sure it is IE4
  if (document.all)
    setInterval("ieBlinkForMe()",1000)
}
window.onload = startBlink;
</SCRIPT>


Only a idea *g*.

Anyone tried this already? Where should this script be inserted in the index.template?

Shame it doesnt work on IE, would be good. Not sure about the above code either, where to stick it :-(

This works well (in the proper browsers  ;) ) but I'm getting lots of errors in my log:

Quote8: Undefined index: blink
File: /home/forum/public_html/smf2/Themes/default/languages/Post.english.php (main sub template - eval?)

Is there anyway I can get fix this? 

Merci!

This MOD crashed in Firefox version 23!!

Chalky

First of all, "crashed" is not very descriptive, nor is there any other information in your post to help identify your problem or help to fix it.

Secondly, this mod has not been updated since SMF 1.1.3.  It will not work if your forum is 2.x and you should not even have tried to install it.  It probably won't work on the later versions of 1.1.x either, but unless you are using 1.1.x and tell us which version we can't tell you that.  Also worth noting that if you are not using either version 1.1.18 or 2.0.4, you should be.

TheListener

vms if you are using 2.0.4 then the mod you should be using is http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1981

Ah, nice find Grumpy!  :)

It'll work on any 1.1 version after 1.1.2, it'd have to be through emulation if I remember right.

While I'm leaving the mod available for download, for all intents and purposes, I'm no longer supporting it. So, it can theoretically be classed as 'Abandoned'
