Guideline 7. Ensure user control of time-sensitive content changes.

Checkpoint 7.2 - Until user agents allow users to control blinking, avoid causing content to blink (i.e., change presentation at a regular rate, such as turning on and off)

Animated gifs or multimedia can be distracting for cognitively impaired, attention deficit and epileptic individuals, particularly when they blink.

How do I do it?

Text should not be marked up to blink with the use of the <BLINK> or <marquee> tags.

How do I check that it meets the WCAG criteria?

Pages should be visually checked for blinking animation. Where this occurs, pages should be scanned for the <BLINK> and <marquee> tags using the Edit > Find tool in Dreamweaver or Notepad.
