Syntax

blink()

Parameters

None.

Return value

A string beginning with a <blink> start tag, then the text str, and then a </blink> end tag.

Examples

Using blink()

The code below creates an HTML string and then replaces the document's body with it:

const contentString = "Hello, world";
document.body.innerHTML = contentString.blink();

This will create the following HTML:

<blink>Hello, world</blink>

Warning: This markup is invalid, because blink is no longer a valid element.

You should avoid blinking elements altogether.
