I don't think this is a bug for the following reasons

1. jQuery doesn't reliably support working with SVG at the current time as far as I'm aware. Check #7584 for progress on this issue.

2. The animate() documentation says

All animated properties should be a single numeric value [...] properties that are non-numeric cannot be animated using basic jQuery functionality.

So currently you can't animate the fill property with jQuery core alone.

To get done what you want anyway, there are 2 options, which both include slightly adapting existing plugins so they support the fill property (adding the string fill to list of other color-related properties).

  • If you are using jQuery 1.4.3+ you could also use the new cssHooks functionality. e.g. The jquery-cssHooks plugin already has a hook for color animation color.js
