I had to do this implementation for an unbelievable legitimate use of the evil blink at my company.
Just thought of sharing as somebody might have the same unbelievable legitimate need. =P.
(Yes, I know there is one of this already!)
Of course it depends on jQuery ;).
Basic:
$('selector').blink();
The previous gives you regular blinking with some reasonable defaults:
- No max blinks
- blink durations ~1 second
Advanced:
$('selector').blink({maxBlinks: 60, blinkPeriod: 1000, speed: 'slow', onBlinkOff: function(i,callback){}, onBlinkOn: function(i,callback){}, onMaxBlinks: function(){}});
You can override any configuration parameters that you like or use any of the callbacks.
The onMaxBlinks callback only gets called if maxBlinks was specified.
N.B.: Please notice to call the callback argument in your custom onBlinkOn/onBlinkOff functions to ensure the plugin works correctly. Check the example for more details.
