The example doesn't blink (anymore?) in Chrome because many browser vendors cancelled the support for it. Should be replaced by a GIF that shows, what <BLINK> did. Franky666 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:58:EC3E:E210:C90B:E553:918E:D227 ( talk) 00:09, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

An entry about the blink tag, yet no examples of it? Kind of funny, eh? -- 24.249.108.133 00:35, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
The caption of the image on the page says "An illustration of the <blink> element in action", however, the <blink> tag is showing in the image, so the either the image is wrong or the caption is wrong. I know it is intended to be a joke, but I think Wikipedia should be correct. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.64.133.1 ( talk) 20:00, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
Our own sources say that the image could cause seizures, so I've removed it. The fact it's incorrect is just another reason it never should have been in the article in the first place. — chbarts ( talk) 21:22, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
Most implementations of the blink tag only flash it between 1-2 Hz. It has been statistically proven that this does not cause seizures except in the severely epileptic. It's not like you don't already have a seizure inducing image. Here is an example of a blinking text image that you could add (I donate it to the public domain): http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/2291/blinkingtext.gif 184.100.14.144 ( talk) 02:41, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
The lead paragraph says that the blink tag is not supported by Internet Explorer, and the Usage section says it is supported by Internet Explorer. I don't have any Windows computers nearby to test on (and my Windows XP VM is quite dead at the moment), can someone verify IE support (perhaps it was added or removed from a specific version? Use something like IE Collection on XP to test?) and correct the article?

The article says Apple's Safari supports the blink tag, but a test on Safari 6.0 (7536.25) on Mac OS X 10.7.4 does not blink. Same test HTML blinks in Firefox 12.0.

Firefox has just removed <blink> from version 23 beta ( https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/23.0/releasenotes/).-- tumaru ( talk) 16:51, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
Consensus is meaningless when an element of the page could hurt someone. We're not going to engage in OR or synthesis on this one.— chbarts ( talk) 02:01, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
I keep removing the blinking text for the simple reason that our own cites say it can cause seizures. That is an issue which goes over and above our notions of consensus. It is far more important than any Wikipedia rules, and it is impossible to justify re-adding it without at least discussing it on the talk page.
So. I keep making these little sub-headings on the appropriate page, nobody but me puts text under them when they re-add the blinking seizure trigger, and I'm the one who gets threatened with being blocked. Can we at least have a discussion before the block hammer comes down?— chbarts ( talk) 03:35, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
This is absurd. People keep re-adding the seizure trigger without even attempting to discuss it here, and everyone's expected to be OK with triggering seizures in people? The browser makers removed the damned tag for a reason, and resorting to hacks to re-implement it might be just the tiniest bit antisocial.— chbarts ( talk) 13:36, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
OK, so we're going to risk seizures. We can at least give the epileptics a fighting chance here.— chbarts ( talk) 18:17, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Blink element. Please take a moment to review
my edit. You may add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{
Sourcecheck}}
).
This message was posted before February 2018.
After February 2018, "External links modified" talk page sections are no longer generated or monitored by InternetArchiveBot. No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than
regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors
have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the
RfC before doing mass systematic removals. This message is updated dynamically through the template {{
