Re: help! I can not get fade-in or fade-out of opacity in IE

Jake Barnes said the following on 8/31/2006 12:01 PM:
Please go look at this page using FireFox:

Click the "Next" button a few times. The images fade out and then fade
in. It's a nice effect.

Now do try to do the same in IE (6.0). The images don't fade into each
other. Instead, they hesitate, which is annoying, and then jump from
one image to the other, suddenly, with no fade.

Can anyone tell me why that is?

Because IE does not support the opacity that Firefox does.

Does IE not recognize opacity?

No. But it does use Transformations, which were the reason Mozilla implemented opacity to start with.

In IE, and use the Next/Previous buttons. It uses very IE specific code but it fades the images in and out like you want. Specifically, it uses document.all but that could/should be changed to gEBI.
