CSS Flashing Text
Your visitors with Opera or Firefox browsers might enjoy this hack. You can have certain words or even whole paragraphs or sections flash with a simple text-decoration CSS attribute.
HTML Example:
This whole DIV should be flashing if you view this page with a browser that supports the feature. If it's not flashing, don't email me about it.
CSS Example:
.flash { text-decoration: blink }
Result:
The (rather short) list of browsers that support the feature may come as a surprise. We were all lead into believing that Internet Explorer is the only browser that supports awkward features. Ironically it is not the case with flash text. However, you are to use this feature only if you really have to, having a whole paragraph blink (like in the above example) might disrupt your users' browsing experience.
