I've tried it again on an object I was just coding to show/hide and it seems to work on that (an input box). I had _definitely_ tried it on several different objects before I posted this message, and I had hit different results running with the compatibility forced in the header to when IE was allowed to do its own thing. I'm sure I made a simple testing scenario to try it at a very simple level (in case it was due to anything strange I was doing) so I'll see if I still have that code and post it if I can find it - sorry, I would normally post code to demonstrate the problem but I'm in the middle of a large project and things are a little hectic ATM (plus I thought I had tested it sufficiently and found it to be consistently not working enough for it to be a known problem).
If I can recreate it I'll post back the code to do so (I'm quite irritated with myself for not doing so in the first place).
