Awesome plugin. This is exactly what I have been looking for on my latest web project.

It’s especially handy – as Alex states in an earlier comment – that it saves the need of including the UI library, etc.

Much appreciation. I will be including a link in an upcoming blog post (when I manage to get my blog live).

Kudos!

Hi James,
How do you restart the Pulse. I stop the pulse to do some processing, but if a condition isn’t met, I would like to restart the pulse. From the comments, I’m using $(this).stop().fadeTo(‘fast’, 1); to stop things while I process.

Regards,
Terry

Also, @Toomany, you should specify all CSS properties in the first object (with “opacity”). The second object (with “times”, “duration” etc.) is just for extra options.

@Chris, works for me… http://jsfiddle.net/9sWRT/

@Toomany, what background colors do you want to pulse to/from? You need more than one. E.g. http://jsfiddle.net/7sQ5c/

Can anyone confirm this works with JQuery 1.4.2? I am having trouble getting it to work after loading 1.4.2 (worked fine in 1.3.1). I am using the Google API version…

Thanks!

I’m linking to the Jquery color doc (http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/plugins/color/jquery.color.js) and trying to use the backgroundColor feature:

$(“#myDiv”).pulse({
opacity: [0,1]
}, {
duration: 100,
backgroundColor: ['red'],
times: 3,
easing: ‘linear’
});

And no go…Does this still work with Jquery 1.4.2?

Handy little plugin, thanks!

Please also register my vote for continuous/infinite pulsing, perhaps using the “times” value “-1″

And it would be nice to be able to specify different easings for in and out rather than just the same one for both. Or is that already possible somehow?

@amit, I think you want to change [0,9] to [0,1]. @John, I'll probably be adding this feature in the future but for now just use a big number that'll probably never be reached (e.g. 99999).

Thanks for providing this! Is it possible to tell the element to pulse continuously (times: infinite) until it’s told to stop? What I’m trying to do is have an element start pulsing when hovered and keep pulsing until mouseout.
