title: jQuery - text color fade in
body: <p>I can't find a simple solution to this problem.</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to fade in a color change for some text when there is an error from a button click.</p>
  
  <pre><code>if (document.getElementById("username").value == ""){ //First Name      
      $("#login_error").text("Please enetr a username!").css('color', '#FF0000');     
      $("#username_label").css('color', '#FF0000');fadeIn(3000);
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can get the color to change but it is instant. I am wanting to get the change of colour to fade in slowly. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks Guys! </p>
