Troubleshooting: jQuery animation for background-color doesn't function in Internet Explorer

I've been working on a website and I'm trying to create a navigation bar similar to the one found at . My goal is to have the navbar transition from transparent to a colored background as the user scrolls down the page.

For this project, I am utilizing Bootstrap and jQuery. However, since jQuery cannot animate background-color properties, I have incorporated the jQuery color plugin into my script:

   $(document).ready(function() { 
 $(window).scroll(function(){
    if ($(window).scrollTop() > 75){
        $('.navbar').stop().animate({'background-color': 'rgba(0, 128, 128, 1)'},400);
    }
    else if ($(window).scrollTop() < 75){
        $('.navbar').stop().animate({'background-color': 'rgba(0, 128, 128, 0)'},400);
    }
});   
});

Below is the HTML code snippet for the website:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>

  <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
  <meta charset="utf-8>
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
  <title>test</title>
  <link href="css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

</head>

<body>
  <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>

  <script type="text/javascript" src="js/color2.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

  <nav class="navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top" style="background-color : rgba(0, 128, 128, 0);">
    <div class="container">
      <a class="navbar-brand" href="#" >Brand</a>
      <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
        <li><a class="white" href="#">Blog</a>
        </li>
        <li><a class="white" href="#">Over ons</a>
        </li>
        <li><a class="white" href="#">Contact</a>
        </li>
      </ul>


    </div>
  </nav>
</body>

</html>

I've been grappling with this issue for a few days now. Despite adding $(document).ready to my script, the desired effect is not functioning properly. The navbar transitions flawlessly in Chrome and Firefox, but remains transparent in Internet Explorer. I've searched online for a solution without success. Does anyone have any insights on how to resolve this?

Answer №1

After some investigation, I finally solved the issue. Turns out, it was a simple oversight on my part - Internet Explorer 11 was causing issues with running my JavaScript code.
