Question

I have a div with white background, and I’d like to apply a progressive shade (in 600ms) to it from red to its white background.

I think .fadeOut() is the solution, but I don’t know how to set red as beginning color.

Answer 1

Try this(uses jquery-ui):

$(function(){
    $("#divID").css({backgroundColor:"#F00" });
    $("#divID").animate({
        backgroundColor:"#000" 
        }, "slow");
});
