Animate background color like a progress bar in jQuery

Question

I thought your looking for a "Progress Bar Animation"? try this: i believe its what your looking for - the progress bar's horizontal loading motion in a jsfiddle here:

with a few more elements you are able to simulate that easily using the same tech everyone else is using here... jquery ui etc

html:

Button

    

    

        DIV
    

css:

#myDivId{
    background:red; 
    color:white; 
    padding:10px; 
    overflow:hidden; 
    position:relative;
}

.content{
    z-index:9;
    position:relative;
}
.progress{
    z-index;1;
    width:0px;
    height:100%;
    position:absolute;
    background:blue;
    left:0px;
    top:0px;
}

js:

$("button").click(function(){ 
      $('.progress').animate({ width: '100%' }, 10000);
});
