Re: Blinking Text on Screen?

Use html blink tag

http://reference.sitepoint.com/html/blink

Or in CSS

/* This is the css style that will make your text blink.*/
.blinkytext {
     font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
     font-size: 1.2em;
     text-decoration: blink;
     font-style: normal;
 }

For Cross Browser, check following good link:

hi kedarrkulkarni,

Best Regards.

what exactly u want to do from codebehind? u can set jquery blink code on client side.... using a class name jquery selector...

from codebehind, u can set a class name for a span/div so that that text starts blinking.

note: <blink> tag is not supported in most of browsers

hope this helps...

I want to blink a text according to a specific data coming from database.

Re: Blinking Text on Screen?

download this jquery plugin and refer in u r aspx code...

http://www.antiyes.com/jquery-blink-plugin

then, in .aspx page, add code like this

<script src="jquery-1.3.2.min.js" language="javascript" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="jquery-blink.js" language="javscript" type="text/javascript"></script>
 
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
 
$(document).ready(function()
{
        $('.blink').blink(); // default is 500ms blink interval.
        //$('.blink').blink({delay:100}); // causes a 100ms blink interval.
});
 
</script>

<div runat="server" id="blinkText" >
</div>

now, in the codebehind, get database values...

if required condition matches then set blinkText div's class name to "blink" else set it to blank... like this

if(condtion matches)
  blinkText.Attributes.Add("class","blink");
else
  blinkText.Attributes.Add("class","");

add text to be blinking inside div... (either in design or from codebehind using blinkText.InnerHtml="text")

this will add class="blink" to div when u want to blink the text inside it

hope this helps...
