Imitating a blink tag with CSS3 animations

Question

I really want to make a piece of text blink the old-school style without using javascript or text-decoration    No transitions  only  blink    blink    blink      EDIT  This is different from that question because I ask for blinking without continuous transitions  whereas OP of the other questions asks how to replace blinking with continuous transitions

If you want smooth blinking text or something a like you can use following code   x000D   x000D    blinking       -webkit-animation  1s blink ease infinite      -moz-animation  1s blink ease infinite      -ms-animation  1s blink ease infinite      -o-animation  1s blink ease infinite      animation  1s blink ease infinite          keyframes  blink         from      to         opacity  0             50          opacity  1                -moz-keyframes blink        from      to         opacity  0             50          opacity  1                -webkit-keyframes  blink         from      to         opacity  0             50          opacity  1                -ms-keyframes  blink         from      to         opacity  0             50          opacity  1                -o-keyframes  blink         from      to         opacity  0             50          opacity  1            x000D   lt span class  blinking  gt I am smoothly blinking lt  span gt  x000D   x000D   x000D

if you want some glow effect use this    keyframes blink     50        opacity  0 0         -webkit-keyframes blink     50        opacity  0 0         atom-text-editor  shadow   bracket-matcher  region       border none      background-color  rgba 195 195 255 0 1       border-bottom  1px solid rgb 155 155 255       box-shadow  0px 0px 9px 4px rgba 155 155 255 0 1       border-radius  3px      animation  blink 2s steps 115  start  infinite      -webkit-animation  blink 2s steps 115  start  infinite

There s actually no need for visibility or opacity - you can simply use color  which has the upside of keeping any  blinking  to the text only    x000D   x000D  blink   x000D      display  inline  x000D      color  inherit  x000D      animation  blink 1s steps 1  infinite  x000D      -webkit-animation  blink 1s steps 1  infinite  x000D    x000D   keyframes blink   50    color  transparent      x000D   -webkit-keyframes blink   50    color  transparent      x000D  Here is some text   lt blink gt this text will blink lt  blink gt   this will not  x000D   x000D   x000D    Fiddle  http   jsfiddle net 2r8JL

The original Netscape  lt blink gt  had an 80  duty cycle  This comes pretty close  although the real  lt blink gt  only affects text    x000D   x000D   blink   x000D    animation  blink-animation 1s steps 5  start  infinite  x000D    -webkit-animation  blink-animation 1s steps 5  start  infinite  x000D    x000D   keyframes blink-animation   x000D    to   x000D      visibility  hidden  x000D      x000D    x000D   -webkit-keyframes blink-animation   x000D    to   x000D      visibility  hidden  x000D      x000D    x000D  This is  lt span class  blink  gt blinking lt  span gt  text  x000D   x000D   x000D    You can find more info about Keyframe Animations here

Let me show you a little trick   As Arkanciscan said  you can use CSS3 transitions  But his solution looks different from the original  tag   What you really need to do is this    x000D   x000D   keyframes blink   x000D    50    x000D      opacity  0 0  x000D      x000D    x000D   -webkit-keyframes blink   x000D    50    x000D      opacity  0 0  x000D      x000D    x000D   blink   x000D    animation  blink 1s step-start 0s infinite  x000D    -webkit-animation  blink 1s step-start 0s infinite  x000D    x000D   lt span class  blink  gt Blink lt  span gt  x000D   x000D   x000D    JSfiddle Demo

Another variation   x000D   x000D   blink   x000D      -webkit-animation  blink 1s step-end infinite  x000D              animation  blink 1s step-end infinite  x000D    x000D   -webkit-keyframes blink   50    visibility  hidden     x000D           keyframes blink   50    visibility  hidden     x000D  This is  lt span class  blink  gt blink lt  span gt  x000D   x000D   x000D
