Hello everyone,

    Just enjoying reading this list, there's a lot to learn about jQuery =]
    I've managed to create a background image blend effect thats 
triggered from a thumbnail gallery but I'm struggling with a problem on 
one of my loading gifs in IE, it appears as expected over the thumbnail 
but doesn't animate until the fadeOut starts. Are there some tricks to 
using animated gifs in IE? I already changed it to an image tag rather a 
div with the gif as a background but it still didn't really help.
    I snipped the code that it's a part of, you can see what (i think) 
is the relevant code:

        // a part of the click event on the form
        $(currentForm).append('<img id="bg-loader" src="loader.gif" alt="#" 
\/>');
        
        // swapped bg images on #img and faded it in then in the fadeIn 
callback function:
        $("#img").fadeOut( 0, function(){
                $("#bg-loader").fadeOut(400, function(){ $(this).remove(); });
        });

        the css for bg-loader is:
        #bg-loader { 
                display: block; 
                background: #fff; 
                padding: 29px; /* creates 74x74pixel square centred image */
                opacity: 0.8; 
                position: absolute; 
                top: 0; 
                left: 0; 
        }


    If you know something that might help I'd love to hear from you, 
it's a small niggle but it's a niggle none the less =]

    Cheers,
    Rob
