I thought I might contribute to the world of bad scripts today. Here’s one I wrote that can be used to be pretty annoying.

——

originalTitle=document.title

// functions to blink the title of the page with a message
function blinkTitle(message, count) {
blinkingTitle(count, message, true);
}

function blinkingTitle(count, message, blink){
if(blink){
document.title=message;
} else {
document.title=originalTitle;
count– // decrement the number of times left to blink
}
if (count > 0) {
blinkTimer = setTimeout(”blinkingTitle(”+count+”, ‘”+message+”‘, “+!blink+”)”, 800);
}
}

You can call this crazy title blinking with something like: blinkTitle(’bitches!’,2)

Try this one in your body tag:
onload=”setInterval(’blinkTitle(”drink.”, 3)’, 1000*60*5);”

That should make your page title blink ‘drink.’ three times every five minutes. Fun times.
