GRIDVIEW CELL BLINKING BEHIND CODE

I have the following code example that I would like to insert into the attached code behind to make colum [2] blink based on the criteria in column [15] being either "MCO" or "MMCO". The below code sniplet is an example for a timestamp. Need assistance in applying to the attached code.

public void GridView1_RowDataBound(Object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{

if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{

// cell[2] postion of column to BLINK, cell position based on criteria to BLINK = [15] when = "MCO" or "MMCO"

if (Convert.ToDateTime(e.Row.Cells[3].Text) > DateTime.Now)
{
e.Row.Style.Add("text-decoration", "blink");
e.Row.Style.Add("color", "red");
}

}

So what's the issue here?

Is this what you are looking for?

if (e.Row.Cells[15].Text == "MCO" || e.Row.Cells[15].Text == "MMCO")
{
e.Row.Cells[2].Style.Add("text-decoration", "blink");
e.Row.Cells[2].Style.Add("color", "red");

try this, have this script on your aspx page inorder to blink in IE.

//Cross browser function for blink process.
<script>
        function blink() {
            var blink = document.all.tags("BLINK");
            for (var i = 0; i < blink.length; i++)
                blink[i].style.visibility = blink[i].style.visibility == "" ? "hidden" : ""
        }

        function startBlink() {
            if (document.all)
                setInterval("blink()", 1000)
        }
        window.onload = startBlink;
    </script>

I have the timer script inserted into the Head and added the code behind; however, as the column associated with the blinking feature is actually 1 with the header MCO ORDER.
With the code modified as requested it still not blinking.

check whether your recieving MCO OR MMCO with upper case on cell15 do a debug and test whether its processing inside d loop of d above condition .

Ok I got it working. It is not applying fore color of "Red" however. Would it be difficult to make the entire background color Blink or alternate colors?? Trying to bring as much attention to this information as possible.
