Answer 1

I had the same problem and I was able to get everything to work when I included the correct js files.

I took it a step further and found a nice extension someone wrote.

jQuery.fn.flash = function (color, duration) {
   var current = this.css('backgroundColor');
   this.animate({ backgroundColor: 'rgb(' + color + ')' }, duration / 2)
   .animate({ backgroundColor: current }, duration / 2);
}

The above code allows me to do the following:

$('#someId').flash('255,148,148', 1100);

That code will get your element to flash to red then back to its original color.

Here's some sample code. http://jsbin.com/iqasaz/2
