Jquery background animate

Question

Is it possible to animate the background-color in jQuery, because it is not working.

$(\'#something\').animate({
    background :\"red\"
}, 1000         


        

Answer 1

You can use CSS3 transitions for that same effect. your animate could be achived with

#something {
  -webkit-transition: background-color 1s linear;
   transition: background-color 1s linear;
   background: red;

}

The only problem with this solution is IE<10 support
