HTML

<button>Start Animation</button>
<p>By default, all HTML elements have a static position, and cannot be moved. To manipulate the position, remember to first set the CSS position property of the element to relative, fixed, or absolute!</p>
<div style="background:#98bf21;height:100px;width:100px;position:absolute;"></div>

JavaScript

$(document).ready(function () {
    $("button").click(function () {
        $("div").animate({
            backgroundColor: 'red',
        });
    });
});
