Hello,

How do i create a highlighting visual effect using rjs. Actually I have  
to highlight the list which I am displaying by clicking an image.

show.rhtml  
…

\<%= link\_to\_remote(image\_tag("/images/pictures/" “.jpeg”,  
:size=\>“90x100”),  
:url =\> {:action =\>‘imag1’},  
:update =\> ‘one’%\>

When I click this image link it should highlight the contents it is  
displaying.

I have made use of an adb.rjs and placed the code

" page[:one].visual\_effect :highlight, :duration =\>10 "
