javascript instance method
String.prototype.blink()
The blink() method of String values creates a string that embeds this string in a <blink> element (<blink>str</blink>), which used to cause a string to blink in old browsers.
[!NOTE] All HTML wrapper methods are deprecated and only standardized for compatibility purposes. For the case of
blink(), the<blink>element itself is removed from modern browsers, and blinking text is frowned upon by several accessibility standards. Avoid using the element in any way.
Syntax
blink()
Parameters
None.
Return value
A string beginning with a <blink> start tag, then the text str, and then a </blink> end tag.
Examples
Using blink()
The code below creates an HTML string and then replaces the document’s body with it:
const contentString = "Hello, world";
document.body.innerHTML = contentString.blink();
This will create the following HTML:
<blink>Hello, world</blink>
[!WARNING] This markup is invalid, because
blinkis no longer a valid element.
You should avoid blinking elements altogether.
