.fadeIn() and .fadeOut() seem to work OK in Firefox, but in IE they seem to do the same as .show() and .hide() - they just pop in. Same goes for .slideDown() and .slideUp() in IE. Try it out with the demo I linked to above.
So apparently effects are very limited in tables - and even more so in IE. I suppose I'll have to just do a .show() and .hide() since it works, and thats what happens in IE anyway. Any other advice or insight would be appreciated....
