Animating flashing text

[Blackmore]

I'd like to animate some of the text on my website, such that in certain instances it appears to flash on and off as if it were a flashing bulb. Could anyone suggest the most efficient way of doing this?

<div style="text-decoration: blink;">blinking text</div>
 

I don't endorse the above, as it's deprecated - i believe.

Don't want howard thinking im teaching awful html!

No, it's not deprecated.

I'd never think badly of you Markus. No matter how bad the suggestion. :)

I don't appear to be able to make this work. It appears logical enough to me. I've tried the code as suggested. I tried changing the colour of the text to highlight the effect. Unfortunately, it does appear any different from the text without the text-decoration setting.

I am using a CSS style on the text and I am manipualting that in the tag. I'm not sure if that will have anu effect?
i.e.

<div class="css_style" style="text_decoration: blink;">Blinking Text</div>

Does the font size matter. Currently, the font size is 11px.

Yeah, you were probably using Internet Explorer. I forgot to check but "blink" only works in modern browsers.
