You can just use the fadeOut and fadeIn methods to animate just the opacity:
$('#mydiv').fadeOut().fadeIn().fadeOut().fadeIn(); You could loop a set number of times with something like this: var blinkCount = 2*2;// two blinks, 4*2 for four blinks do { $('#mydiv')['fade'+(blinkCount%2==0?'Out':'In')]('slow'); } while (--blinkCount); -- Brandon Aaron On 4/23/07, Alexandre Plennevaux <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
no it does not work: it seems show() / hide() works on the width, height, or opacity. but then i guess i could try to build this effect by using a timeout and display:none / auto or something like that.... ________________________________ From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Josh Nathanson Sent: lundi 23 avril 2007 20:42 To: jquery-en@googlegroups.com Subject: [jQuery] Re: Blink effect How about callback = function() { $("#mydiv").hide().show().hide().show() } -- Josh ----- Original Message ----- From: Alexandre Plennevaux To: jquery-en@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, April 23, 2007 1:27 PM Subject: [jQuery] Blink effect hi, i've been playing with the effects built in jquery and had a lot of fun playing with such flexibility. However, i could not achieve what i wanted: having an element blink twice when its html content get loaded via ajax. The problem is the blinking of course, jquery has mad ajax so easy. i was wondering if anyone succeeded in creating that special effect, that would have something blink a certain number of times upon appearing ? thank you very much! alex Alexandre Plennevaux - LAb[au] asbl.vzw / MediaRuimte Lakensestraat/Rue de Laeken 104 B-1000 Brussel-Bruxelles-Brussels Belgie-Belgique-Belgium Tel:+32(0)2.219.65.55 Fax:+32(0)2.426.69.86 Mobile:+32(0)476.23.21.42 http://www.lab-au.com http://www.mediaruimte.be __________________________________________________________________________ The information in this e-mail is intended only for the addressee named above.
