I'm new to css and I'm trying to get web links to blink on mouse hover.


In my style sheet I have:

div#main-menu a:hover {text-decoration:blink;}

which works in Firefox.

I downloaded csshover.htc from http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/ which
purports to fix the problem so I added the following to my stlysheet:

body {behavior:url("csshover.htc"); background-image:
url(../images/sq.jpg); background-repeat: repeat;}

but it still doesn't work in Internet Explorer version 6.0 for Windows.
I have javascript enabled and I refreshed the page.

thanks,

Stop wanting that. It hurts when it "works". Instead, change the text and/or
background color on mouseover (and perhaps remove underline).

IE does not support blink even in IE 7, thank &Deity;. This has nothing to
do with div a:hover, so the issue is completely different from what you
wrote on the Subject line.

You might contact its author if you really want to fix the "problem".

so I guess your advice is to just not do it because you don't like it
and Microsoft doesn't support it.

Your guess is wrong, as you could know if you read my answer
comprehensively, instead of comprehensively quoting it. You have now
expressed your willingness to avoid learning anything, and hopefully people
will honor your request.

No. The advice old K is giving you is that it is a tacky thing to
do, very few people like it and so on...

btw... I would rather you made blinking text than top post. Now
_that_ is a very personal like and dislike.
