working through my own scripts, I found it happened even on the actual jQuery animate plugin page: http://docs.jquery.com/Release:jQuery_1.2/Effects#Color_Animations Explorer (at least IE7) spits out a error at irregular intervals when trying to run a color animation. The error is "Invalid property value". on the jQuery page, it is saying that it is appearing at Line 18, Char 13 of http://docs.jquery.com/Release:jQuery_1.2/Effects Is this plugin straight up unusable at this point? or what is the deal exactly? holla Peace
