Menu-color change, fade in effect - please help!
Hi guys, I'm new with js and very very new to this forum. I would be really appreciate it if you guys could help me out with this problem.
I'm creating a page with the menu set to change color (fade in effect) when hover over. I'm using 2 different script for this function. The function works nice at first but after a few more times it stops working. The menu appear as I set it to be then It disappears when i hover over it and reappear if i hover back over it again even though the color change (fade in effect) still working.
here are the scripts
(color animations)

(function(jQuery){

jQuery.each(['backgroundColor', 'borderBottomColor', 'borderLeftColor', 'borderRightColor', 'borderTopColor', 'color', 'outlineColor'], function(i,attr){
jQuery.fx.step[attr] = function(fx){
if ( fx.state == 0 ) {
fx.start = getColor( fx.elem, attr );
fx.end = getRGB( fx.end );
}
fx.elem.style[attr] = "rgb(" + [
Math.max(Math.min( parseInt((fx.pos * (fx.end[0] - fx.start[0])) + fx.start[0]), 255), 0),
Math.max(Math.min( parseInt((fx.pos * (fx.end[1] - fx.start[1])) + fx.start[1]), 255), 0),
Math.max(Math.min( parseInt((fx.pos * (fx.end[2] - fx.start[2])) + fx.start[2]), 255), 0)
].join(",") + ")";
}

(hover color change)
-
//
// Changes the menu colours on hover
//
function colorFade(menuBit, menuColor) {
$(menuBit).hover(function() {
$(menuBit + " a").animate({ color: menuColor }, 100);
}, function() {
var neutral = $("#menu").css("color");
$(menuBit + " a").animate({ color: neutral }, 100);
});
}
$(document).ready(function() {
colorFade(".main-theater", "#ff3366"); //Red
colorFade(".main-studio", "#339DCB"); //Blue
colorFade(".main-lounge", "#15AF1C"); //Green
colorFade(".main-calendar", "#CF267C"); //Pink
colorFade(".main-contact", "#9538A1"); //Purple
});
