pulsing menu items

Question

I have a menu setup with the below css:

a.menu:active
    {
     color: #000000;

    }

    a.menu:hover
    {
     color: #FFFFFF;
     background-color:#000000;
     text-decoration: none;
    }

I am looking for a way to make the background color of certain items pulse in and out.

Slow fade from one color to another. Or fade between classes continuously.

Answer 1

Look in to adopting a javascript framework such as jQuery.

You will find the $(selector).animate() function very useful for this type of thing.
