title: fading out the background color with jquery
body: <p>I got the AJAX post to get the latest comment like below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>function add_the_answer_to_the_list(dataString)
  {
    // append this damn comment to the list
    $.ajax
    ({
      type: "POST",
      url: "home/get_answer/",
      data : dataString,
      success: function(data)
      {
        var data = jQuery.parseJSON(data);
  
        //append the comment
        $(
          '&lt;li&gt;&lt;article&gt;'+data+ '&lt;/article&gt;&lt;/li&gt;'
        ).hide().prependTo("#answer_list ul").fadeIn();
  
      }
    }); 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>now, when the comment fading in what should i do to highlight the comment with red color then slowly fade the background color back to the original color? is there any way to do this kinda thing without plugin?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
