title: How to create a jQuery button with blinking text without changing the background colour?
body: <p>I have a link and I would like the text contained in that link to blink (continuously) using jQuery.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a href="#" class="blink"&gt;Button&lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is what I've got:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$(function() {
  
    blinking($(".blink"));
  
  });
  
  function blinking(elm) {
      timer = setInterval(blink, 10000);
      function blink() {
          elm.fadeOut(5000, function() {
          elm.fadeIn(5000);
      });
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It works but it fades out both the link text <em>and</em> the link's background colour.</p>
  
  <p>This is my css:</p>
  
  <pre><code>.blink {
    color: white;
    background-color: green;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I get it to fade in/out the text only?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any help.</p>
