dojo.animateProperty does not support rgba fully

[Karl Tiedt]

It seems that animateProperty will not properly calculate rgba's transparency to animate through... this can be tested by calling the below command with a proper node.

 dojo.animateProperty({
  node:"nav",
  duration: 5000, /* to ensure it wasnt be missed in a quick transition */
  properties: {
      backgroundColor: { end: "rgba(128,128,128,.75)", start:"rgba(128,128,128,.33)" },
  }
}).play();

mwilcox wrote a dojo.animateProperty extension to animate complex css properties.
Just add
dojo.require("dojox.fx.ext-dojo.complex");
and it will work
