Blinking text distracts users since they can't read through long passages in one go while they disappear and reappear continuously. In Bug 173537, I suggest that blinking is turned of until a better solution is found. This is now the bug about a possible better solution. I propose a solution where black blinkingin text on a white background would fade to grey and back to black slowly, much like some buttons is OSX pulse to indicate "return key = this button gets clicked". This means generally, that blinking text fades out to 50%, making the background shine through and fading back to 100%. That way we combine the advantages - There is blinking - Users can still read through - Works for everybody PS: This idea was discussed before on Bug 172897.

[RFE] is deprecated in favor of severity: enhancement. They have the same meaning.
Severity: normal → enhancement

I think it's a neat idea, but I'm more apt to voting for turning the blink tag off myself in Chimera. I suppose if it was kept however, this change would fit in the neato category. Patches, anyone?
I think this is a valid RFE. If more browsers did this, the blink tag might actually become useful! Anyone know if this is implementable, and if so, would there be any performance hit?

I like this idea. If the people over at bug 124699 insist on using this horrible non-standard tag, at least make it more bearable.

I'm not 100% sure this is within the allowed behaviours of the spec, but I'm pretty sure we could get the spec changed if not.

See also bug 188761 (change the pulse rate). Maybe we can combine them ?

Support for blink effect was dropped in bug 857820.

So we won't add a pulse effect.
