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

I have written a simple jquery extension for text blink whilst specifying number of times it should blink the text, Hope it helps others.

//add Blink function to jquery 
jQuery.fn.extend({
    Blink: function (i) {
        var c = i; if (i===-1 || c-- > 0) $(this).fadeTo("slow", 0.1, function () { $(this).fadeTo("slow", 1, function () { $(this).Blink(c);  }); });
    }
});
//Use it like this
$(".mytext").Blink(2); //Where 2 denotes number of time it should blink.
//For continuous blink use -1 
$(".mytext").Blink(-1);
