<blink> should only affect text nodes

Open mathiasbynens opened this issue 12 years ago • 11 comments

Gecko and Presto only support text blink because it’s really a text-decoration feature. Inputs and other elements shouldn’t blink — only text nodes should.

E.g. <blink>foo<input></blink>

Oh... That'd be a bit harder now that it's css only.

It’d be impossible using only CSS, as there’s no way to select text nodes without referring to a wrapper element.

@bravedick Wouldn’t that also apply to text in <input>s?

I guess blink lovers would love blinking blocks. Also, pink bold comic sans.

Can't you just blink input { animation: none; } or something?
