TextBox Foreground color in jquery

Question

Why isn\'t this piece of code working?

$(\"#TextOne\").animate({ color: \"#FFFF00\" }, 800);

When i call it on a button click it does nothing.

Answer 1

Try the following.

define a css color like this.

.anim-color
    {
        color:##FFFF00;
    }

animate on a class like this.

$("#TextOne").animate({ className: 'anim-color' }, 800);

Answer 2

Are you using the color plugin (or jQuery UI)?

Without one of these it won't work because jQuery does not natively support the animation of color properties.

Answer 3

You can't fade colors :( You need Color plugin for that :)
