[thelist] Javascript (Math Skills Needed)

[Jon Hughes]

I got this snippet from Jeremy Keith's book, and modified it slightly:

function fader(element,red,green,blue) {
  if (element.fade) {
   clearTimeout(element.fade);
  }
  element.style.backgroundColor = "rgb("+red+","+green+","+blue+")";
  if (red == 255 && green == 255 && blue == 255) {
   return;
  }
  var newred = red + Math.ceil((255 - red)/10);
  var newgreen = green + Math.ceil((255 - green)/10);
  var newblue = blue + Math.ceil((255 - blue)/10);
  var repeat = function() {
   fader(element,newred,newgreen,newblue)
  };
  element.fade = setTimeout(repeat,100);
 }

Basically, this will fade the element from your rgb value to white...
but I don't want it to fade to white, I want it to fade to:
R: 243, G: 244, B: 255 --- #F3F4FF

I tried replacing values, but I honestly have no idea what the math is
doing, so it makes it extremely difficult for me to edit.

Does anyone know a way to fade any color to the color I want?

Thanks,
