In Chrome v27 - When I animate the background color to some hex color and back to transparent... the background color is permanently set to whatever the inherited background color is, instead of the background color being correctly set to "transparent". Background color changes that depend on hover and active then no longer work in the CSS.

#element:hover {

background-color: #faa;

}

$("#element").animate({backgroundColor

name.animate({backgroundColor : "#afa"}, 500).delay(500).animate({backgroundColor : "transparent"}, 500);

Where element is contained within some parent that has a background color not equal to #faa;
