I think this code *should* be it, but it's not working. I can tell it's changing the colors, but it's not *fading* (like CSS3 transitions). Please help. My code:

```
$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#nav-wrap ul li a").mouseover(function(){
        $(this).css("color","#444");
    });

    $("#nav-wrap ul li a").mouseout(function(){
        $(this).css("color","#999");
    });
});

```
