[jQuery] Re: Fading links from one color to another (like Mootools)

[Nazgulled]

Well, I've been reading about Interface yesterday but I think it's too
confusing for me and I have no clue how to use the animate() method
and than, how would I choose 2 colors to fade from and to? I have no
idea how to do that...

However, I found this jQuery plugin: 
http://www.mathias-bank.de/jQuery/jquery.colorGradient.js
Which doesn't do exactly what I want, but has a set of methods
implemented to calculate color gradients and returning it in an array,
I just need to implement methods to change the color using that array.

Here's my noob try. The following code was added to the plugin above:
sleep: function(timeout) {
        var loop = true;
        var current = new Date();
        var now;
        var cTimestamp = current.getTime();

        while(loop) {
                now = new Date();
                nTimestamp = now.getTime();

                if(nTimestamp - cTimestamp > timeout) {
                        loop = false;
                }
        }
}

fadeColor: function(startColor, endColor, type, cssTag, step) {
        var color = jQuery.calculateColor(startColor, endColor, {"count":
step, "type":type});

        for (var i = 0; i < step; i++) {
                $(this).css(cssTag, color[i]);
                jQuery.sleep(1000);
        }
}

Than, I have this code on the readyevent:
$('div#content a').each(function() {
        $(this).mouseover(function() {
                $(this).fadeColor('#ff0000', '#00ff00', [1,1,1], "color", 3);
        });
});

So, as you see the step is 3, which means, it will take one second to
change from the first color to the second and another second to change
from the second color to the third. However, with this code, it will
take 3 seconds to change from the first color to the last, it won't
show the first color nor the second. It will go straight to the last
color. I know I'm doing something wrong cause I'm really a newbie at
jQuery/JavaScript.

I believe this plugin is enough for what I want to do, I just need to
know how to adapt it to my needs. I didn't want to use Interface,
unless I really need to, cause it's a bit confusing with all it's
plugins and such. For now, it would be great if someone could help me
out use tis colorGradient plugin to adapt it to my needs.
