A few simple small jquery / ajax tasks on an opencart theme

Hi, Im in the process of creating a theme for opencart and I need someone to do a few small tasks for me which involve jquery and ajax. They should be very simple for someone that is good with jquery and ajax. Task 1 : Fix my superfish menu which isn't animating, think its due to a jquery conflict but not sure. Task 2 : Fix the mini cart which isn't being refreshed properly with ajax. Task 3 : Add a fading background color to the buttons on hover. Not gradient but a slow color change on hover. I want to be able to use this effect on divs aswell. I have included the URL and further details in the txt file attached to this message. Thanks.
