problem with fade in script - need help

[owen-b]

I'll look into the code and see if I can work out what you mean about opacity and alpha for disabling the effect in IE, and if it actually works for me, cheers!

A seperate problem - since implementing the code, the text on my page such as the image title at the top, and the footer stuff at the bottom, sometimes renders much thinner than it should, and sometimes it's fine. It seems to be a side-effect of this fader script. Any ideas?

perhaps the fading is "cascaded" into the other divs? Try to put them outside the div which fades

Hmm. They're all in either the header or the footer div. I guess they could be being affected because the template for Pixelpost doesn't have a specific 'image' div. It just sits in the body. Could that be why? Should I create a div fo the image area that's got no CSS formatting, so that it inherits the body formatting but serves to isolate the script call?

try it :-)

Took a couple of refreshes to propagate but seems to have worked!

I've commented out the line that serves IE with the fade code, so now IE users see no fade, but also no specks. Annoying, but that's the IE-users problem, not mine. All Firefox/Safari/etc users are still rewarded with a fade

Update - it's not worked at all. The script-caller and the photo is inside a div that literally contains no CSS information at all but the text top and bottom of my page is still being randomly affected.

I ended up disabling the effect in IE - but some people have been saying it's still showing up on their version of IE even without the fade effect in operation.

Any news on what causes the speckle?

Cache of IE? :P

Looks like it might be related to setting a explicit width and height of the div tag that has the filter... so if you have -

<div style="width:100px;height:100px;filter:progid:DXImageTransf...

Try -

<div style="width:100px;height:100px">
<div style="filter:progid:DXImageTransf...
</div>
