I have noticed on my website, as well as the JQuery Cycle Plugin's Home Page, that when the fade effect is used, divs in the header (including the text) are undergoing the fade effect not just the slideshow.
Any thoughts? An example is at http://malsup.com/jquery/cycle/fade-in-first.html (Pay attention to the top navigation). I've played around with it and it's not just fading in the first image. It's anytime the image is fading. Thanks in advance!
