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.

    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.
