jQuery: animate text color for input field?
colors, input, jquery, jquery-animate
Solution
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.
Problem
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').animate({color: '#f00'}, 500); ``` But it won't work. However, I can change the text color: ``` $('input').css('color', '#f00'); ``` I've tried this in both Safari 4 and Firefox 3.5 with the same (lacking) results. I'd really appreciate any input on this problem as I'm running out of hair... Thanks.
