A document with ‘normal’? content and a paragraph with blinking content. The blinking effect is created with the CSS rule text-decoration: blink. This property is not supported by all browsers (for example Internet Explorer 6) and cannot be turned off in some other browsers (including Firefox 1.0 or higher). Blinking with <html:acronym>CSS</html:acronym> to highlight important information Christophe.Strobbe@esat.kuleuven.be en Copyright BenToWeb 2004-2007 2005-09-29 validated text-decoration

This test case is intended to fail because the blinking does not stop after three seconds and there is no mechanism in the content to turn it off. Only the time duration of the blinking is tested here.

The instructions in the last paragraph blink for more than three seconds, unless the user turns off the blinking in their browser.

Conforming user agents are not required to support the value "blink" for the property text-decoration (http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-CSS2-19980512/text.html#propdef-text-decoration).

Internet Explorer 6.0 does not seem to support the value "blink" for the property text-decoration, because it does not cause any blinking. In Opera 8.02 and 9.02, the blinking can be turned off by switching to "user mode". In Mozilla 1.7.3, SeaMonkey 1.1, Firefox 1.0, Firefox 1.5 and Firefox 2.0, the "Preferences" or "Options" dialogue does not contain a mechanism to turn off blinking. However, with the Mozilla/Firefox Accessibility Extension (http://firefox.cita.uiuc.edu/index.php), one can disable CSS and thus disable blinking caused by CSS.

This test case maps to failure F4: Failure of SC 2.2.2 due to using text-decoration:blink without a mechanism to stop it in less than three seconds.
