Oh my god. That website has javascript that adds and removes a pipe "|" to the end of the page title, and it looks like a blinking caret for text input. My OCD

My OCD is going insane.
- JasonFruit 14y agoThe effect would be a lot nicer if it stopped when the tab lost focus. I would prefer not doing it at all, but my tastes are not everyone's.
- ianstormtaylor 14y agoJust fixed it to use the page visibility API to do just that. Thanks for the idea!
- benjoffe 14y agoLooks like it only alternates between the two states (flashing and not flashing), so if the page is opened as a new tab (i.e. not focused to begin with) then the flashing occurs when the tab is not focused.
- ianstormtaylor 14y agoYup good call, the first call to the interval shouldn't assume focus
- fmoralesc 14y agoIf I place it as an application tab in Firefox (16), it will highlight the tab because it assumes the content has changed... it doesn't happen always, though.
