ie8 highlight errors after some time

[paulvb]

i am using jQuery UI 1.8a1, and when i highlight a div in IE8 , I get the error below error: Invalid property value. jquery-ui.js, line 3976 character 3

See testcase:

<style>

div.x{ width: 100px; height: 100px; background: black; float: left;

margin-left: 50px; color: #fff } </style> <div class="x">test 1</div> <div class="x">test 2</div> <div class="x">test 3</div>

<script> $(function() {

setInterval( function(){

$('.x').show('highlight', {}, 1000);

},3000); });

</script>

The problem is the "background:black" part of the style. The color animation doesn't support color names.

I'm not sure that's it. jQuery UI Effects core has support for color names. Perhaps try background-color instead of background? A test page would help assess.

I created a testcase. I also changed the css property to background-color. No success..

Made a fiddle of the testcase: ​http://jsfiddle.net/gnarf/GR7ht/ I was unable to reproduce any script errors in IE8 - Is this still a problem?
