Fade in/out doesn't work in IE7

[Emachine]

Hey, this code (a combination of Javascript and PHP) is working perfectly in FF, IE6, Opera, Safari and Seamonkey but doesn't work in IE7 for some reason. It's basically a slideshow wherein one picture fades out and to give way to another. In IE7 the pictures still flip but there's no fade. If anyone sees something I'm missing please let me know.
This should be all the code, if I'm missing some or if I've given too much let me know and I'll repost.

Thanks for the help ahead of time.

You know what? I set $_FIX to true on "msie 7" as well and it fixed the problem. I had tried that earlier but I must have been viewing the cache or something.
