Das BlinkenTechts!

I was kicking around the WebDeveloper forums this morning and found a little project to keep me busy. A user was looking for a simple way to blink the colors of some text. I wrote up a flexible little class in JavaScript to handle it.

Really simple to implement, and kind of a minimalist class. Just include the file, add name attributes to the ones you want to blink and set up the window.onload. Here's an example of the onload:

window.onload = function () {
  var bT = new blinkenTechts(new Array("#000","#F00","#00F"), 'targetName', 500);
}

With that configuration every element with the name targetName would rotate through the colors black, red, and blue on a half-second interval once bT.blink(1) was called.

For more example peek at the source of these little example blinkenTechts. You can download the source here.
