I've been playing with jQuery in an ASP.NET project and am finding some odd behavior with the .fadeIn() and fadeOut() functions. In the below example, a click on the button (ID Button1) is supposed to cause both the span of
text with ID Label1 and the the button with the ID TextBox1 to do the following things:
Fade Out
Change the
text of both the
text box and the span of
text to be You clicked the button
Fade In
Based on the browser I'm using, I get 3 different scenarios, and each element functions differently in each situation. Here's what happens when I actually click the button:
TextBox1:
In IE8, the
text box fades out, changes
text, then fades back in
In IE8 Compatibility View, the
text box fades out, changes
text, then fades back in. However, the
text in the box looks a little different than before the button was clicked.
In FireFox 3.5.8, the
text box doesn't fade out (but it does "pause" for the amount of time the fade would take), does change the
text, then seems to "pause" again where it would be fading in.
Label1:
In IE8, the label doesn't fade out (but it does "pause" for the amount of time the fade would take), does change the
text, then seems to "pause" again where it would be fading in.
In IE8 Compatibility View, the label does fade out, change
text, and fades back in, but the
text looks a little different than before the button was clicked.
In FireFox 3.5.8, the label doesn't fade out (but it does "pause" for the amount of time the fade would take), does change the
text, then seems to "pause" again where it would be fading in.
Two questions:
What's going in to make each element to behave differently in different browsers?
Is there a better way to get the functionality I'm looking for across multiple platforms?
