Fade effect? No, I don't see that. Everything pops up/changes immediately after I move my mouse over it, nice and fast.

Opera doesn't support transparency, so it's the correct behaviour.

When you move the mouse over the link, the menu will just show up, when you move the pointer off of the link or the menu, then it should fade out (it's fast, though).

Maybe that's why If it uses IE's engine then it should work fine.

What browser are you using? You'll only see the fade effect in IE and Mozilla.

It don't seem like it fades tbh. It's like SUPER fast, maby you can slow it down like a lil bit more then it be perfect!

Mozilla 1.7.2

In netscape it kinda 'flickers away' just as in FF
in IE it's working nice

I don't see any fading either in any browser...

EDIT: correction... after closing opening many times, I indeed see some "fading", but it is extremely fast, hence it is almost just popping up/away in 1 go... This is maybe also the reason for the flickering you see? Too fast fading?

If the delay in setTimeout("fadeOutMenu()",10) is set to 100, you can see it fading. Maybe you tested it at a slow PC which can't handle 10ms and realy does it in 100ms? Experiment with higher values and see if the menu hides as fast. If it does then use the higher value rather then the lower value. As fast PC's can handle those lower values, the speed will not be the same on both PC's... If you know what I mean....

On my PC a value of 30 to 40 gives a nice result... (P4 2.66Mhz)

yes, well, it doesn't flicker each time. Only the first time menu.style.MozOpacity is set, the menu flickers off/on once... I dunno why, but after some tests (not in the loop, but outside the loop), it seems that is has something todo with the focus I assume... I changed the script to this to test:

code:

---

function hideMenu(UseFade){
  if (MenuInitialized) {
    if (UseFade && (isMSIE || isMozilla)) {
      t = 1000
      setTimeout("menu.style.MozOpacity = 1",t);
      setTimeout("menu.style.MozOpacity = .9",t+100);
      setTimeout("menu.style.MozOpacity = .8",t+200);
      setTimeout("menu.style.MozOpacity = .7",t+300);
      setTimeout("menu.style.MozOpacity = .6",t+400);
      setTimeout("menu.style.MozOpacity = .5",t+500);
      setTimeout("menu.style.MozOpacity = .4",t+600);
      setTimeout("menu.style.MozOpacity = .3",t+700);
      setTimeout("menu.style.MozOpacity = .2",t+800);
      setTimeout("menu.style.MozOpacity = .1",t+900);
      setTimeout("menu.style.MozOpacity = .0",t+1000);
      // set the focus to something else, a box
      alert('boo');
      //fadeOutMenu();
    } 
    else {
      menu.hide();
    }
  }
}

now, there isn't a flicker at the start... But dodgy enough, if you set  t=2000, the flicker returns....
