vml:fill color2 overwritten when using effect show/hide/toggle

[rossi]

The fill-color in vml elements will be overwritten / set to "white" when using the effect show / hide / toggle at an parent element (e.g. div). When using the "normal" show/hide/toggle from jquery this bug won't appear.

Try this:

$(document)

.ready(function() {

$('<div style="position:absolute; left:100px; top:100px; width:200px; height:100px; background-color:#ffffff;" />')

.appendTo('body') .append('<v:rect id="vmlRect" fillcolor="#0faaf0" style="position:absolute; top:0; left:0; width:50%; height:50%; z-index:9999999;" />') .show('blind', 800)

$('#vmlRect')

.append('<v:fill color="#ff00ff" color2="#00ff00" type="gradient" angle="90" />');

});

I'm not really sure what I'm looking at here. The fiddle doesn't seem to do anything. Also, you're using jsFiddle incorrectly and creating a page inside a page.

If you open fiddel within IE6 you'll see on the lower right widget a rect created by VML. 1st it has two colors from pink to green. But when jq works on this element it only has the 1st color, the 2nd is white. That's what you see at the end.

btw: how can I put a tag (needed for VML in IE) into the header of the html in fiddle..?

I'm not sure if you can. If you use jsbin.com, you can see exactly what's going to be used and it'll be obvious. ​jQuery doesn't support VML, so I'm going to close this as wontfix, but if you have a small fix for this, we can consider landing it.
