Thanks so much!

I think Colin is referring to changing this line:

if (jQuery.support.objectAll == false) {

to read:

if ($.browser.msie) {

(I think that’s all…)

Thanks for the feedback colin, I’ll get the plugin updated asap. It’s been a while since I visited this.

I had to remove the jQuery.support.objectAll check to get this to work, because the objectAll attribute was removed in future versions of jQuery.

@Ivan – yes you may still experience issues with Firefox, this plugin is targetted at IE7/8 & 6 where applicable.

this doesnt seem to work anymore – I see the fonts on your site all jagged on Firefox 3.6 and the samples both look the same to me.

@hayden – you should be able to target elements you want to apply this fix too regardess of the container they are in. The container is of no relevance really unless you want to target elements within a certain contain, in which case a span will work fine.

With regards to the fade issue, you may want to try running this function on callback when the fade has finished.

hi, i realised the fade black was coz i was applying it to div’s rather than for example p . is there something else i can use to wrap my text in, as ‘span’ doesnt work ??
