[jQuery] Cycle plugin & opacity

[martinp]

Hi

I'm using the fade effect of the Cycle plugin to generate a slideshow
with some text overlaid on the top. The box of text should have an
opacity of 0.7.

This works well in Safari/Firefox on a Mac, but in IE the box of text
has 100% opacity.

I tried to fix it using this code:

        function onAfter() {
                $('div.banner h2').css('opacity', 0.7);
        }

        $(document).ready(function() {
                $('div.banner h2').css('opacity', 0.7);
                $('div#front_banners').cycle({
                        fx: 'fade',
                        after: onAfter,
                        clearType: 1
                });
        });

But it's not working.

Is it possible to use opacity on an element within the slide being
faded across browsers?

Thanks for any help.
