[jQuery] div.hover, only w/ background-settings in IE?


hi, ..
by using this snippet, everything works great in Firefox - you can
move the mouse
everywhere inside the red DIV border, and get out .. the fading effect
always works correctly.
but, in IE 6/7, .hover only seems to act when the mouse is AT the red
border; well,
if you set a background-color to #test, or, a background-image (like a
transparent GIF),
it also works ... but, when setting a transparent GIF, IE 6
flickers ... like, swichtes
between default cursor and hour glass during the fading process ...
also, can't set
background-color, because the (original) site itself has a background-
image ... so, the
DIV must remain transparent at all.
any solutions?
please, have a look at this..
...
div#test{position:absolute;top:100px;left:100px;height:300px;width:
300px;border:1px solid #f00;}
...
$(function(){
$('#test').fadeTo(0,0.25);
$('#test').hover(
function(){$(this).fadeTo('slow',1);},
function(){$(this).fadeTo('slow',0.25);}
);
});
...
<div id="test">...</div>
love,
