Question

Answer 1

Simply:
Do hidding it, wait a little, do showing it, wait a little, and restart...

But you need improve the code for not getting all your pc ressources only for flashing on element :P

Answer 2

With css there is a kind of, but unfortunaly it's rarely implemented in modern browsers... ( flashing was an old possibility on text-screen, from the age of monochromic monitors ) So, I didn't evocate it because your question was about html AND js ^^

Two tricks, if you want to implement the hide-show solution:

* In css, you have 2 possibilities to display or not an element, the display and the visibility properties ( well, a third with the opacity property, but it's not adapted for full show-hide ).
- The "display:none;" would retrieve the element from the pageflow, so the siblings ones are moving to use the released space.
- The "visibility:hidden;" would hidde the element, but continue to reserve space so the others ones don't be moving.

* For waiting, dont make a big loop, you will lose all ressources, prefer the window.setTimeOut() method, or the window.setInterval() one ;)
