jQuery Highlight Effect with no fade away
<p>I want to highlight a <code>&lt;span&gt;</code> using jQuery.effect('highlight'), but it fades out after a period of time.</p>

<p>How can I get the highlight to be persistent?</p>

<p>My code is:</p>

<pre><code> $('span').live('click', function () {
        $(this).effect("highlight", { color: "#ff3fff"});
    });
</code></pre>
