This code will effectively make the element s  blink without touching the layout  like fadeIn   fadeOut   will do  by just acting on the opacity   There you go  blinking text   usable for both good and evil     setInterval function           blink   animate   opacity  1    400  animate   opacity  0    600      800

Seeing the number of views on this question  and the lack of answers that cover both blinking and stopping it  here goes  try jQuery blinker out  demo    HTML    lt p gt Hello there  lt  p gt    JavaScript   var p      p     p blinker     p bind          pause blinking on mouseenter     mouseenter  function              this  data  blinker   pause                  resume blinking on mouseleave     mouseleave  function              this  data  blinker   blinkagain

Easiest way       element   fadeTo 250  0  fadeTo 250 1  fadeTo 250 0  fadeTo 250 1     You can repeat this as much as you want or you can use it inside a loop  the first parameter of the fadeTo   is the duration for the fade to take effect  and the second parameter is the opacity

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--  gt  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

Try using this blink plugin  For Example      blink   blink       default is 500ms blink interval        blink   blink 100      causes a 100ms blink interval    It is also a very simple plugin  and you could probably extend it to stop the animation and start it on demand

If you d rather not use jQuery  this can be achieved with CSS3   -webkit-keyframes blink       from   opacity  1 0      to   opacity  0 0       blink     -webkit-animation-name  blink      -webkit-animation-iteration-count  infinite      -webkit-animation-timing-function  cubic-bezier 1 0 0 0 1 0     -webkit-animation-duration  1s       Seems to work in Chrome  though I thought I heard a slight sobbing noise

Here you can find a jQuery blink plugin with its quick demo   Basic blinking  unlimited blinking  blink period  1 sec       selector   blink      On a more advanced usage  you can override any of the settings      selector   blink       maxBlinks  60       blinkPeriod  1000       in milliseconds     onBlink  function           onMaxBlinks  function           There you can specify the max number of blinks as well as have access to a couple of callbacks  onBlink and onMaxBlinks that are pretty self explanatory   Works in IE 7  amp  8  Chrome  Firefox  Safari and probably in IE 6 and Opera  although haven t tested on them     In full disclosure  I m am the creator of this previous one  We had the legitimate need to use it at work  I know we all like to say this  -   for an alarm within a system and I thought of sharing only for use on a legitimate need  -      Here is another list of jQuery blink plugins

I like alex s answer  so this is a bit of an extension of that without an interval  since you would need to clear that interval eventually and know when you want a button to stop blinking  This is a solution where you pass in the jquery element  the ms you want for the blinking offset and the number of times you want the element to blink   function blink   element  ms  times        for  var i   0  i  lt  times  i              window setTimeout function                  if   element is   visible                       element hide                  else                    element show                             ms    times   1

Blink functionality can be implemented by plain javascript  no requirement for jquery plugin or even jquery   This will work in all the browsers  as it is using the basic functionality  Here is the code   HTML    lt p id  blinkThis  gt This will blink lt  p gt    JS Code   var ele   document getElementById  blinkThis    setInterval function          ele style display    ele style display     block     none     block       500     and a working fiddle

This is what ended up working best for me  I used jQuery fadeTo because this is on WordPress  which already links jQuery in   Otherwise  I probably would have opted for something with pure JavaScript before adding another http request for a plugin     document  ready function            One  blink  takes 1 5s     setInterval function               Immediately fade to opacity  0 in 0ms             cursor   fadeTo  0  0              Wait  75sec then fade to opacity  1 in 0ms         setTimeout function                    cursor   fadeTo  0  1              750          1500

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      Full example at this js fiddle

One more made from the core jQuery functionality it could be better    function blink  el         if   el            el   this              el  animate    opacity  0 5   1200  function               this  animate   opacity  1    1200  blink                 You can tweak the animation opacity change 0 5- 1  and delay 1200  to get a better  blink   This one is less annoying than the blink of the 90es  -
