In this video we will discuss animating colors using jquery. With the basic jQuery functionality, animate() method cannot animate non-numeric style properties like color, background-color, and border-color.



jQuery UI adds the ability to animate color properties. In the example below a reference to jQuery UI is included, hence the color animations work. If we remove the reference, color animations will not work, but other numeric style properties (font-size, border-width) continue to work.
