Basically I have something like this:

<ul>
<li>
<a>
<div class="trigger-layer"></div>
<div class="title-layer">Text here</div>
<div class="hover-layer"></div>
</a>
</li>
</ul>

I use jQuery to animate the <ul> as follow:

$ul = xxx (where I assign the selector to var $ul)
$ul.animate({opacity: 0}, 1000, function() {$ul.css("display", "none")});

However in IE8, as the <ul> fades off, the <div class="title-layer">Text here</div> remains clear and opaque. Finally the animation ends, the display: none; property is applied onto the <ul> and the text disappears aburptly.
