In C we use a timer and a loop to Blink text.
Going by the same logic, maybe you can implement using Java Script.

I guess IE doesn't support <blink>.

PS: I don't know JS.

IE 4 is very outdated, IE 8 is recently launched. Most probably, IE 4 uses a older version of html that don't support those things. You might be using updated firefox, coz it updated automatically.

Even the latest version of IE doesn't support the <blink> tag.

The reason may be that <blink> is not standard.

Even Google Chrome doesn't support it.
