Fill not applying to SVG using vivus.js

Question

Hey guys i have the following SVG drawing animation using vivus.js SEE HERE , the svg is below:

<style type="text/css">
  .st0 {
    fill: transparent;
    stroke: #020000;
    stroke-miterlimit: 10;
  }

</style>

<path id="XMLID_3_" class="st0" d="M-0.5,3.5H19c0,0,1.5-0.1,1.5,1.6V77c0,0,1,1.1,2,0V4c0,0,0-1.5,1.4-1.3l20.4,0c0,0,8,0.1,12,8.7

I am using the following JS to animate the svg:

new Vivus('svglogo', {duration: 200} , function() {
    $('#svglogo st0').attr({'fill' : '#020000'})
});

Now after the drawing is complete i would like to add the fill to the logo and so i have the following in the callback function:

$('#svglogo st0').attr({'fill' : '#020000'})

But this really does't seem to work, can somebody tell me what am i doing wrong here ? why is the fill not applying ? I'd really like to apply the fill once the drawing animation is complete .

Answer 1

The fill property set by CSS style overrules the fill attribute. You should be using

$('#svglogo st0').css({'fill' : '#020000'})
