Thank you Sandy - I really appreciate your input although I'm not sure
whether I understand everything.
Anyway, I kind of find a solution - this is what's happening:
<div id="head-banner-wrap">
<h1 id="head-banner-text">Nashville, TN</h1>
<div id="head-banner"> </div>
</div>
I tried to fade in the "head-banner-wrap" - it's positioned relative -
that didn't work in IE while Safari and Firefox were just fine.
When I fade in the "header-banner" which is positioned absolute, it
also works in IE - I don't understand why and unfortunately I'm unable
to fade in the title that's in that container wrap as well - kind of
weird.
