I'm a novice at this, so excuse me if this is really a simple (i.e stupid) question. I am adding some updated information to a page and I want the text to flash or blink or have a moving border, similar to what is possible in Word. But using the marquee and DHTML attributes, I can't seem to find what I want. I don't want the text to move in from the right or left, slide in, etc. I want the first word of the paragraph (NEW!) to blink or flash, so the rest of the paragraph can be read without the text moving. Also, i want this to happen when the page loads, without a person having to mouse over the text, so GLOW is not a good option.
Can someone help? I'm using RoboHelp HTML 7.02.001.
Thanks!

Rick,
Unfortunately, I've tried several different sites and when I copy or paste them in, the animation ceases to work or I get a black box. I didn't see anywhere that I could copy the actual code. I'll keep trying other options.
Thanks.

Hi there
An animated GIF is simply a GIF image. Nothing special about it.
Shoot me an E-Mail back at rstone75 (at) kc (dot) rr (dot) com and I'll send you a couple to play with.
Cheers... Rick
