javascript flashing effect after you answer a question, or when you cannot vote down and close the warning

Question

does anybody know any resources that I can refer to?

Answer 1

I believe you are referring to the JQuery FadeOut effect (since Stackoverflow uses JQuery)

Answer 2

Stackoverflow uses the JQuery library, and it uses the fadeOut effect for what you are describing.

I have never used JQuery, but I have used the scriptaculous library to do this same thing in the past.

The Effect.highlight effect is probably the one you are looking for.

Answer 3

You can easlily find this and lots of other effects in various javascript libraries. I personally like JQuery
