Yes, hiding the control is annoying, but it was my 2nd attempt to get it to work.  Adding the image to the right was my first attempt, and I got similar issues.

The example here is minor in comparison to my code at work.

I will try the onmousedown and see if that helps with IE, since it doesn't look very good ATM.  (And... this app is internal, thus IE only.../shudder).

I will also try in STRICT mode to see if it helps, but I'm afraid that the app is using .NET 1.1 with HTML 4.01 Transitional, so I cannot implement it in my project.

One last thing:  How can I tell which line is causing the delay in IE?  When I output log statements with time, it doesn't give me any glaring suspects.

Let me ask: Why?
In my opinion it's a little bit confusing when a control disappears
when you try to use it..
Maybe a throbber placed near or in the disabled <select> is enough (or
better) for showing the user that something is happening.

In IE the dropdown is opened before "onclick" fires. Changing the event
type (onmousedown) maybe helpful.

Hm. The animation stops because the browser seems to be very busy with
httprequests, parsing JSON, rendering or something else.
Have you tried to use the animation as a background-image?
Also check the rendering mode. Maybe in strict mode you get better
results.

greets,
