Highlight by coloring a div on page load (without using jQuery UI)

Question

I just need to highlight a div by changing its background color for just a moment on page load. I dont want to include jQuery UI plugin just for this.

Is there is any way to do this just by pure jQuery 1.4?

Answer 1

$("div").addClass("highlight");
    setTimeout(function() {$("div").removeClass("highlight");}, 500);


.highlight {
      background: red;
}
