title: How to make an <li> element flash/blink a different color using jQuery
body: <p>So I am using the Telerik MVC controls for a solution that I am working on and I am specifically dealing with the Telerik <strong>"Menu"</strong> control item right now. </p>
  
  <p>What I am trying to do is this:
  If the master page loads with a certain property set to a certain value, then I will display a menu item that is very important for users to see. I want this menu item to constantly <strong>blink</strong> with a red/orange background in the menu bar. The telerik menu items are are rendered as <code>&lt;li&gt;</code>'s. </p>
  
  <p>I want to write some jQuery, using <strong>jQuery 1.6.4</strong>, so that I can have this blinking or flashing effect on the <code>&lt;li&gt;</code> that is important. How can I do this? Almost all of the things that I have tried (that supposedly worked for jQuery 1.2) are not working and are throwing errors when I try them. Is there an easy way to do this using 1.6.4?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
