It might be worthwhile to mention that internet explorer does not support the <blink> tag, and that the w3c allows user agents to not support it.

It might also be worthwhile to mention how horribly unsightly blinking text is, but I digress.

I believe it should be mentioned that <BLINK></BLINK> is a Netscape specific tag....at least that's my perception.

It didn't work:
// Function definitions:
// None, yet.

// The program:
var quit = false
var trial = 0

while (!quit) {
//enter = "Enter: "
while (trial < 6) {
if (trial == 0) {
document.writeln (" document.writeln ("Can you guess it in 6 tries?<br><br>")

//var enter = "Enter: "
//document.writeln(enter.blink()) // I don't know how to make "Enter:" blink.
document.writeln ("<blink>Enter: </blink>") // I don't know how to make "Enter:" blink.
}
else {
}
trial++
}
document.writeln ("<br>Sorry, your six tries are up. The answer is ")
quit = true
}

Wow! Both of the following blink fine in Netscape, but neither blinks in Internet Explorer 5!!

var enter = "Enter: "
...

document.writeln(enter.blink())
document.writeln ("<blink>Enter: </blink>")

Hello, just some comment on this question (how to make text blink)

It won't work in MSIE (5.5)
I believe that it works on NN, but in Internet Exploren 5.5 it doesn't

I'd further like to say that this site is real good (for as far as i believe) It realy helped me,... some things on this site are quit difficult but most is understandeble for me (and i'm quit new to this jave stuff)

Keep up the good work,
