Thanks for the kind words regarding the site Karl - hugely appreciated. I know the aliasing issue you are referring to but this is different. It only affects IE7 and it makes any type that has been faded (or even instantly hidden, then shown) look as if ClearType is off, whilst other type on the page is unaffected. Ugly. I think it has to do with IE7 only allowing one Filter at a time, and I think some of the quick-fixes Microsoft have rushed out for IE7 (PNG transparency, ClearType default etc.) have used up that one use of Filter already, leaving us out of luck when we want to use one. Another example of this is when I wanted to apply a slight transparency to a button that used a PNG image that itself had some transparency - the PNG file lost its new transparency support. I am finding IE6 easier to cope with regarding animation! I'm sure this won't be the last we hear of this. _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
