jqueryfirefox-3

Animation working very slow in my Firefox 3

Look at this code snippet:

$('#clickme').click(function(){blinkText($('#SendedText')); });

function blinkText(element)
{
    $(element).fadeIn('slow');
    $(element).fadeOut('slow');
}

This code works fine in all browsers except Firefox 3. Why does Firefox show and hide text so slowly? How can I fix this behavior?

Solution

  • There's nothing wrong with your code that could case the slowdown. However, try to change

    $(element)

    to

    element

    because your element is already an jQuery object. If that won't work, that's probably a bug in your Firefox version. It's already version 7 now...

    function blinkText(element)
{
    element.fadeIn('slow');
    element.fadeOut('slow');
}
