jQuery: animate text color for input field?

Question

I\'ve got this really simple piece of code that I thought was the correct way to get jQuery to animate the text color for a given input field.

$(\'input\').         


        

Answer 1

Use jQueryUI and your code works as it is.

Answer 2

I found the color plugin to be extremely flaky from one page load to another, even on a static page with the exact same code..! ColorBlend did the job perfectly time though. http://plugins.jquery.com/files/jquery.colorBlend.js_6.txt

Answer 3

You can do this without the color plugin. I've answered this question here.

Answer 4

To animate color you need the jquery color plugin.

Answer 5

You'll need Color Animations plugin for this

Answer 6

jQuery doesn't support color animations so you'll need the color plugin or, jQuery UI. Both allow you to use the syntax you're using for properties like background-color and color.
