Thanks for the reply brian I appreciate it. I ended up not bothering with the fadeTo() and just set a class on the TR which in-turn styled the TD's with some opacity using CSS, this way I get the desired fade effect but without the nice animation, it'll do as a compromise until M$ pull their thumb out.
However, do you think this is worth reporting to the jQuery bugs list, perhaps its a quirk they can work in? Rob On Feb 27, 2:29 pm, Brian Schilt <motoxr...@gmail.com> wrote: > Yeah, thats IE for ya.
