Disabling 'pulsate'

Question

How do I temporarily disable the 'pulsate' jQuery UI effect on a particular element? Such as this:

$('#player2,#score2').effect("pulsate", { times:5 }, 2000);

Answer 1

To stop any animation that uses jQuery's FX queue you use :

.stop( [clearQueue ] [, jumpToEnd ] ).

$('#player2,#score2').stop(true,true);

you will of course have to restart the animation again whenever .. !!
