How do I animate a background color to transparent in jQuery?

Question

I can animate from transparent to color, but when I tell jquery to animate the backgroundColor: \'transparent\' it just changes to white. Any idea how to fix this?

Answer 1

I used the function parameter to remove the style after the animation was done:

$('[orgID=' + orgID + 'bg]').animate({ backgroundColor: "white" }, 300, "linear", function()
 {
     $('[orgID=' + orgID + 'bg]').css('background-color', '');
});

It worked great.
