[jQuery] fadeTo fades up in Safari and FF, down in IE

[Aaron Scott]

I have an element with this style associated with it:

        filter:alpha(opacity=0);
        -moz-opacity: 0;
        opacity: 0;

Now, I fade it in:

$(object).fadeTo(1000, 0.8);

In FF and Safari, this results in the object fading from 0% to 80%
opacity. But in IE, it makes the object pop in at 100% opacity, then
fades down to 80%.

Has anyone seen this before? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Aaron
