How to Disable Blinking Text

Blinking text is an element in HTML that causes any text contained within the <blink> tags to blink on your browser screen. Many Web developers consider this effect antiquated, and Microsoft Internet Explorer no longer displays blinking text by default. But in Mozilla Firefox, blinking text is still displayed. You can disable it, however.
