I would like to not just change color (gray to white) of the background, but to progressively make the button lighter and lighter.

thanks

Answer 1

Basically, you will have to use animate() and css() to change the background property.

I will point you to this well-written tutorial that explains how you can achieve this.

They even have a demo page, I think you're looking for the last example.
