jQuery fade effects in IE(8)

Rain Lover · 11-01-2012, 12:44 PM

Sample code:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<style>
span {display:none;}
</style>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
  $("button").click(function(){
    $("span").fadeIn(3000);
  });
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button>Fade in</button>
<span>This is some text.</span>
</body>
</html>

It doesn't work in IE8 and probably older versions. Any solution?

It should work. What happens instead?

IE does have problems with fading semi-transparent images but not usually with simple elements.
And by the way: the latest version of jQuery is 1.8.2 at the moment.

It just doesn't fade in -- as soon as you click on the button, the text appears.
