[jQuery] flashing/blinking effect

[jQuery] flashing/blinking effect


Hi,
i want to create flashing/blinking effect but i'm having trouble with
it. I know that the core effects are very limited...but still...
i managed to create something to my liking with $
(".element").css({backgroundColor:"#ff0000"}).fadeOut("slow")
but if i want it to just flash and not disappear so i have to
add .fadeIn("slow")
but i want to hide the background color which i've set...after about
2-3 seconds...can i do that? how?
Thanks,
BR
