<BLINK>NN <6 IE n/a HTML n/a  

<BLINK>...</BLINK>

HTML End Tag: Required  

The blink element is Marc Andreessen's contribution to horrifying web pages. All content of the element flashes on and off uncontrollably in a distracting manner. The more content you place inside the element, the more difficult it is to read between the flashes. Please don't use this tag. I beg you. This element does not have any attributes or event handlers, and it did not survive the migration to Version 6.

 
Example
 
<BLINK>I dare you to read this...and not look at it.</BLINK>
