div a:hover IE 6.0

I'm new to css and I'm trying to get web links to blink on mouse hover.

In my style sheet I have:

div#main-menu a:hover {text-decoration:blink;}

which works in Firefox.

I downloaded csshover.htc from http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/ which
purports to fix the problem so I added the following to my stlysheet:

body {behavior:url("csshover.htc"); background-image:
url(../images/sq.jpg); background-repeat: repeat;}

but it still doesn't work in Internet Explorer version 6.0 for Windows.
I have javascript enabled and I refreshed the page.

thanks,

Stop wanting that. It hurts when it "works". Instead, change the text and/or
background color on mouseover (and perhaps remove underline).

IE does not support blink even in IE 7, thank &Deity;. This has nothing to
do with div a:hover, so the issue is completely different from what you
wrote on the Subject line.

You might contact its author if you really want to fix the "problem".

so I guess your advice is to just not do it because you don't like it
and Microsoft doesn't support it.

Your guess is wrong, as you could know if you read my answer
comprehensively, instead of comprehensively quoting it. You have now
expressed your willingness to avoid learning anything, and hopefully people
will honor your request.

No. The advice old K is giving you is that it is a tacky thing to
do, very few people like it and so on...

btw... I would rather you made blinking text than top post. Now
_that_ is a very personal like and dislike.

I didn't ask for aesthetic advice. I asked a technical question.
I realize it's hard for some to be silent when they just don't know.

You got much more than you paid for. But thank you for your clear expression
of unwillingness to discuss constructive; upside-down fullquoting seldom
fails to convey the idea of cluelessness.

Welcome to Usenet.

Those who responded to your query know full well how to achieve what you
seek. They also know that it is a bad thing to want in the first place
(blinking text is annoying in the extreme).

Around here we tend to not provide instructions when someone asks how to
shoot themselves in the foot. ;)

yep. still clueless but confident a technical solution does in fact
exist.

You guessed wrong about a reply to you by Korpela and I pointed
it out. Perhaps you misunderstood it? It was not the point that
just he did not like it. Almost no one likes it.

And your assumption that people give aesthetic advice because of
a lack of technical knowledge is unfair. Even web pages devoted
to technical advice about html blinking say not to do it:

<http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/_BLINK.html>

I am not suggesting this page will help your particular desire.

After attempting this in IE I've come to the conclusion that you are
all right. It's just not worth it.
