[jQuery] Animate backgroundColor?

[jQuery] Animate backgroundColor?


I'm fresh and green to jQuery and enjoying it immensely. One thing
I'm used to doing in AJAX is to animate a background-color across a
range specified like #fff -> #000
When I try doing this using $('#Panel').animate({ backgroundColor:
#000}, 1000) I get an error because it doesn't seem to know where to
start, even though I'm using CSS to set the background-color to #fff.
Is there a way to animate across a color range that I'm missing?
This whole jQuery so ROCKS! If I have to learn ANYTHING new this
coming month, it's gonna be jQuery!
