RE: [PHP-DB] blinking background

I guess it's either a timer thing, and change the <td bgcolor= or a timer thing and change the <img src= from an animated to a non-animated GIF surely there's a better way? bgcolor and background images for tables are not enitrely cross-browser compliant - why not use JavaScript and send an Alert? It's more browser friendly than messing with tables :0) -----Original Message----- From: J- E- N [mailto:eper@tridel.net] Sent: 09 August 2001 11:24 To: r.j.michell@apu.ac.uk Cc: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] blinking background i just want to catch the attention of the user and the blinking effect of the table row is not forever, it will stop after a certain time. :) ----- Original Message ----- From: Russ Michell <r.j.michell@apu.ac.uk> To: J- E- N <eper@tridel.net> Cc: <php-db@lists.php.net> Sent: Thursday, August 09, 2001 6:41 PM Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] blinking background > > is there anyone who can give me an idea on how i can write a php script > > that can make my table row background blinking. > > Why on earth would you want to do that??
