When you click on a story among the story list on the EP homepage, the featured story slot switches to that story. However, it's not always obvious that that happens, so we should highlight the story for a bit to draw attention to the change.

Solution:

Use Scriptaculous's effect.highlight: http://madrobby.github.com/scriptaculous/effect-highlight/

CSS animation would be a nice thing to use here, but the browser support is still pretty limited.
