Preserved Topic: Animated Color Transitions? Math?

I tried... I failed... I tried again... But I failed again

I'm just don't seem to have as good a grasp of maths that many of you do.

I want to set up a loop that will fade one colour to another using hex values. Say I give it #FF00AA and #0099FF want to display 20 progressive colours between those two values.

Did I mention I hated Hex values?

Or some good links on Javascript's Hexadecimal related functions should be enough to get the ball rolling for me.

Any Help would be muchly appreciated.

Just take a look at the source code of Nifty Text...

The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.
Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.

Actualy I figured out an even easier way to do it.

function toHex(dec){			// Takes an integer

	result = parseInt(dec).toString(16)

	if (result.length == 1) result = ('0' + result)

	retuen (result.toUpperCase())	// Returns a string

}





function toDec(hex){			// Takes a string

	var result = parseInt(hex,10)

	retuen (result)			// Returns an integer

}

I keep forgeting about Netscapes old JS reference. It Comes in handy sometimes..

<edit>
Oh the if (result.length == 1) result = ('0' + result) is there bacause I only intend to return 2 digit hex values from it (0 - 255 base 10 decimal). If you wanted to use it for anything higher then you'd have alter that bit.
