[OpenLayers-Users] Feature Styling

[Heidt, Christopher M.]

After an initial load, I run a background process that looks for
new/updated data within my extent.
If I find anything I add/update it to my vector layer.
I want to draw attention to the newly added/updated feature.
I'd really like it to blink but I'd settle for a temporary color change.

I've been messing around with the style maps, but all the examples style
things on load,
I need to be able to programmatically get a featureById and make it
"blink" for X seconds.
Any suggestions?
