Effect.Highlight |
This effect Flashes a color as the background of an element. It is mostly used to draw attention to a part of the page that has been updated via javascript or AJAX, when the update would not otherwise be obvious.
Availability
script.aculo.us V1.0 and later.
Syntax
new Effect.Highlight('id_of_element', [options]); new Effect.Highlight(element, [options]);
Effect-specific parameters
Examples
new Effect.Highlight('my_field', {startcolor:'#ff99ff', endcolor:'#999999'})
Notes
If the restorecolor option is not given, Effect.Highlight tries to find out the current background color of the element, which will only work reliably across browsers if the color is given with a CSS rgb triplet, like rgb(0, 255, 0).
Be aware of the synatx: this effect strictly requires a “new” in front, otherwise you will get a javascript error.
