title: jQuery "blinking highlight" effect on div?
body: <p>I'm looking for a way to do the following.</p>
  
  <p>I add a <code>&lt;div&gt;</code> to a page, and an ajax callback returns some value. The <code>&lt;div&gt;</code> is filled with values from the ajax call, and the <code>&lt;div&gt;</code> is then prepended to another <code>&lt;div&gt;</code>, which acts as a table column.</p>
  
  <p>I would like to get the user's attention, to show her/him that there is something new on the page.<br>
  I want the <code>&lt;div&gt;</code> to blink, not show/hide, but to highlight/unhighlight for some time, lets say 5 seconds.</p>
  
  <p>I have been looking at the blink plugin, but as far as I can see it only does show/hide on an element.</p>
  
  <p>Btw, the solution has to be cross-browser, and yes, IE unfortunately included. I will probably have to hack a little to get it working in IE, but overall it has to work.</p>
