Supressing blinking text

The CSS text-decoration property can be used to make text blink, just like our old friend the blink tag. Fortunately this implies that the opposite is true: CSS can be used to suppress the blink tag.

This will probably only work in Firefox and friends as user agents do not need to support the blink effect in order to conform to either CSS1 or CSS2 and so not many do.

<blink>flip</blink> : flip
