<BLINK> — NN all IE n/a HTML n/a

Synopsis

<BLINK>...</BLINK>

End Tag: Required

The BLINK element is Marc Andreessen’s contribution to horrifying web pages. All content of the element flashes on and off uncontrollably in a distracting manner. The more content you place inside the element, the more difficult it is to read between the flashes. Please don’t use this tag. I beg you. This element does not have any attributes or event handlers.

Example

<BLINK>I dare you to read this...and not look at it.</BLINK>
