// Step 1.
// Put the following script in the head of your page:
// ==========================
// (C) 2000 by CodeLifter.com
// http://www.codelifter.com
// Free for all users, but leave in this header
// blink speed in miliseconds
var rate = 500;
// the three blink colors
var Color1 = "#CC0000" //red
var Color2 = "#FF6600" //blue
//var Color3 = "#135190" //orange
var Color3 = "#00FF00" //green
// the color if/when turned off (no-blink color)
var ColorX = "#CC0000"
// set this to true for auto start; else, false
var DoIt = true
// do not edit below this line
// ---------------------------
bV = parseInt(navigator.appVersion)
bNS = navigator.appName=="Netscape"
bIE = navigator.appName=="Microsoft Internet Explorer"
ok = false
var i=0;
function doTriStateRainbowLink(){
ok = true
if ((bNS && bV >= 5) || (bIE && bV >= 4)){
i++;
if (i==1) C = Color1
if (i==2) C = Color2
if (i==3) C = Color3
if (!DoIt) C = ColorX
if (bIE) BlinkLink.style.color=C
if (bNS) document.getElementById('BlinkLink').style.color = C
if (i > 2) i = 0
if (DoIt) timer=setTimeout('doTriStateRainbowLink()', rate)
}
}
function doOnOff(a){
if (ok){
if (a =="off") {DoIt = false}
if ((a =="on")&&(!DoIt)) {
DoIt = true
doTriStateRainbowLink()
}
}
}
// ============================================================
//
// Step 2.
// Put the following call in the body tag, as shown:
//
//
//
// ============================================================
//
// Step 3.
// Put one of the following link formats in your page; changing
// only the url (and target if desired)
//
// IMPORTANT
// You can have only ONE link on the page with id="BlinkLink"
// and name="BlinkLink". More than one may crash the script.
// Therefore, use only ONE of the following FORMATS.
//
// FORMAT 1 - Automatic blinking, constant
// Set var DoIt in the script to true
//
// Click Here
//
// FORMAT 2 - Link stops blinking when clicked
// Set var DoIt in the script to true
//
// Click Here
//
// FORMAT 3 - Link starts blinking when clicked
// Set DoIt var in script to false
//
// Click Here
//
// ============================================================
//
// Step 4. (Optional)
// BLINK CONTROL VIA LINKS
// On/Off control switches via links would look as below,
// and can be used with any of the above FORMATS
//
// off
// on
