7.2:H207001 Avoid blinking text created by the BLINK element.

Improper design

The use of BLINK will cause text to flash, which may hinder understanding of the text content.

Improper design:

  <BLINK>
  <FONT size="5em">Be aware that Wei-wei typhoon will enter Taiwan from Hua-Lian region</FONT>
  </BLINK>
          

Proper demonstration

We can use EM label or motion text gif file or the APPLET to replace BLINK, the user can use alt text explanation to understand the motion text gif file or the contents of applet.

Proper example:

  <EM><FONT size="5em">Be aware that Wei-wei typhoon will enter Taiwan from Hua-Lian region</FONT></EM> 
          

Proper example:

  <APPLET code="RainbowText.class" codebase="script/" width="80%" height="40"
   align="baseline" alt="Be aware that Wei-wei typhoon will enter Taiwan from Hua-Lian region">
  <param name="text" value="Be aware that Wei-wei typhoon will enter Taiwan from Hua-Lian region">
  </APPLET>
