ahh i didn't know about <blink>, but the setInterval I think is what i'm looking for. I couldn't get it to work tho. I don't think i inserted the code right. This is what i did:
<script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready( function() { $("table.striped tbody tr").mouseover( function() { $(this).animate({backgroundColor: "#4d4d4d"}, {queue:false, duration: 350 }); }).mouseout( function() { if($(this).attr("class") == "odd") { $(this).animate({backgroundColor: "#1a1a1a"}, { queue:false, duration:350}); } else { $(this).animate({backgroundColor: "#343434"}, { queue:false, duration:350}); } }); $("table.striped tbody tr:odd").addClass("odd"); $("table.striped tbody tr:even").addClass("even"); setInterval(function() { $('tr:lt(2)').toggleClass('blinky'); }, 500); }); </script> Since its set to have the first two <tr> to blink i don't need to put <div id="blinky"> before the <tr> I want to blink? How can you add a fade in and fade out to setInterval? I think that would make it alot smoother between blinks.
