Here is the HTML: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http:// www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <script type="text/javascript" src="javascript/jquery_1-3-2.js"></ script> <script type="text/javascript" src="testJava.js"></script> </head>
<body> <br /> <br /> <span id="FadeThisGuy">This Fades on loadup</span> </body> </html> And here is the JavaScript: $(document).ready(function(){ $("#InputField").focus(); $("#FadeThisGuy").fadeOut("slow"); }); It's an incredibly simple test which works fine it Firefox, yet in IE it performs a "cut" rather than a fade where after the set duration of the effect, the object just disappears. I thought I recall reading somewhere than you had to apply a certain attribute to HTML/CSS in order to activate alpha/opacity in IE but I don't have any concept of how. Thanks again.
