dojox.fx.highlight doesn't fade back to original color it fades back to the color when it started

[dave_daniel]

If you are highlighting a node and have a duration of 1 second but another highlight event is thrown before it is done. The second highlight will run but it will only fade back to the color that the node was when the event was started and not fade back to the color of the node before the first event was started.

this is because each new animation determines the color to 'fade back to' upon starting, and you are creating the animation while the other has not completed. two immediate solutions come to mind: a) call .gotoPercent(100,true) on the running animation to force it to the end color value or b) simply use animateProperty passing a backgroundColor property for the end value.
