Cool thanks!:)
Do you know if they will work on a blank html document, like for a webpage?

Just a word to the wise, blinking text is considered a MAJOR no-no, in web design. Stay away from it if at ALL possible :).

Same goes for Marquee text ;)

(luckily I use mozilla which supports neither, ha! :D)

He's right, you should stay away from the blinking text and the <marquee> tag but if u must know, to create blinking text with HTML, you would use the <blink> and </blink> tags. There are also a number of text enhancers like the ones above in Javascript and CSS

If I recall correctly, <blink> </blink> was a Netscape thing. Although, I wouldn't be surprised if IE ended up picking it up. Luckily, I didn't have to ever deal with that, so I'm not absolutely sure if I'm correct.
