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?? It would fully distract anyone looking at the information within the table - which I *presume* is why you want information in the table right? For people to look at and assimilate!? I'm aware of the concept A bad idea - but help out the person anyhow but this one is just silly!

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:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 09 August 2001 11:24 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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 [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: J- E- N [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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.

Fergawdsake -- WHY?!! Irritating, annoying, amateurish -- go read Jakob Nielsen on usability. Here's an alternate suggestion: A contrasting colour for the row you wish to highlight, keeping in mind that some people are colour blind. 1. You can create an animated gif with the an asterisk * that flashes on and off light a light bulb (slowly). 2. Or just use the asterisk to denote a certain requirement on a form or to alert the user to some area of the page. 3. Even changing the color of the text to red will alert the user. Goodluck and please post to the correct list next time, this has nothing to do with a database or php for that matter. :) -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [PHP-DB] blinking background
Depending on the frequency of the blink, it could induce seizures in epileptics, aside from being extremely annoying. Highlighting rows with a sufficiently contrasting color will draw attention to the item, and will be seen by color blind visitors. avoid blink. it's an excellent way to get people to leave your site.
