ID.show("slow") in IE8

ID.show("slow") in IE8

Hello friends,

I am using VS2008 with C# to develop web application. I am using MVC architecture to develop the application. I was developing the ap[plication on IE6 but recently I had upgraded my browser to IE8 and I am facing the following problem.
In my page I had created a textarea. Now onm click of some button I am showingn and hinding the textarea.
say textarea ID is: text1

to show the textarea I use $("#text1").show("slow");
to hide I use $("#text1").hide("slow");

Now this was working very fine in IE6 but in IE8 only .hide is working and .show is not working. I am stucked here. What could be done? Please let me know.

Thanks & Regards
