Text blinking jQuery

Question

What is an easy way to make text blinking in jQuery and a way to stop it? Must work for IE, FF and Chrome. Thanks

Answer 1

Indeed a plugin for a simple blink effect is overkill. So after experimenting with various solutions, I have choosen between one line of javascript and a CSS class that controls exactly how I want to blink the elements (in my case for the blink to work I only need to change the background to transparent, so that the text is still visible):

JS:

$(document).ready(function () {
        setInterval(function () { $(".blink").toggleClass("no-bg"); }, 1000);
    });

CSS:

span.no-bg {
    background-color: transparent;
}
