How do I create a "new" flashing button? - button

I sincerely apologize if this is a noob question, however I am failrly new to web development and would like to ask the community with some help and advice in creating a type of flashing "new" button on a website.
What I am trying to achieve is an eye catching e.g. "new products" button.
Could anyone point me to a good tutorial for asp .net, JavaScript or jquery.
Thanks in advance and kind regards,
geoNeo

Aside from the poor UI design aspect of having anything blinking on your website, you can create an animated GIF image of a flashing button, and then use the onclick event to redirect the user to your next page when they click on the button.
For the animated GIF, I'd suggest making it blink a couple times, then stay solid for a much longer duration, then loop the animation. That way, you get the user's attention, but in a slightly more subtle way.

The mobile burger button only works sometimes

I am having some issues with my wordpress modis theme hamburger button. It's the most random thing I have ever seen with creating websites. Some times when you click the button the shows the pages and on other times it simply does nothing when you click it. I don't know if it's a bad idea to send the link of the website but I will do it any ways www.dcbeauty.co.za would much appreciate if someone could help. Thank you

FB send popup box position

Is there a way to position the popup box of the FB send button?
I've seen a "workaround" with additional CSS properties and tried it but it seems to be "cheesy" and not a good solution. FB developers pages has no reference to this so I presume that this feature is not contemplated!
The only thing that I can say is "What the hell are these FB guys thinking?!" - because let's say that I'm using the button at the bottom or the right of a page. If I click the "send" button the box pops up below the button and messes up all the page layout! Wouldn't it be smart to have a property similar to "position=[top|topLeft|center|whatever...]"??? How come nobody thought of this? Am I the only one to use FB buttons at the bottom of page?
Maybe I'm missing something and FB dev guys already took care of this (if that's case sorry if I consider you dumb regarding this question) if not IS THERE A WAY TO DO IT?
Thank you for any help and cheers.
(p.s. not trying to offend anyone, it's just one of those hair pulling issues :P)

add ribbon button like "Open" with drop-down options

I'm hoping this is just a simple pointer to something existing which I couldn't locate via google.
What our business folks want is a button much like the "Open" button which once clicked, gives a pull-down with 3 options. I can't quite figure out how to pull that off.
I can easily add a button. I can even add a stack of 3 "small" buttons vertically. I can't quite figure out the drop-down from large button. One of our folks thought he did this a long time ago, but can't find any evidence to prove it. ;)
Can anyone point me to what I missed? or, anyone confirm that it's not possible?
thanks,

Unfortunately that is implemented in a different way than how normal buttons are added to the ribbon. I am basing this on the answers I received here:
Is it possible to remove the "Upload MM Component" button from the SDL Tridion 2011 Ribbon
It seems you will need to create an ASCX to achieve this.

Lightbox close button rollover effect

Ok, not really seeing any previous help for this one specifically. What I want to do is have a "hover" effect for the close button. I have got it to where when you hover over the the close button itself it will display and go away when you move the mouse out. But, what I want is when you hover over the image being displayed in the lightbox I want the close button to display and when you mouseout I want the close button to disappear.
Also, some pointers for using the transitions effects or sources for that would be good. I am still a student working on portfolio pieces. I graduate in August 2013.
All help is appreciated =) I am also researching on my own, but not all of what I am reading is working or making sense. I am coming into places like this and Yahoo! Answers for extra help. Thanks!

How accessible is Fullcalendar?

I'm having problems making FullCalendar fully accessible. I'm using the default month view and can't access the next, previous, and today buttons on the top right without using a mouse. If I run a screen reader, I can access those buttons but not without running the screen reader.
And on another note, I currently am using tool tips that pop up when you mouse over an event title to display more information. If anyone has any tips on how to make those accessible to a screen reader or accessible without a mouse, I'd greatly appreciate it!
Regarding the buttons, I would advice that you write new buttons if accessibility is important. These buttons you could then hook up to your own javascript functions that moves to previous and next.
Check out this documentation example
Regarding the second problem, I think that's the same problem not just for physically impaired but also for things like mobile browsers. My tip would be to avoid onmouseover if the information that appears is really important.
