avatarJmudya - the techniques in the article work with Opera 9.5 alpha (although support is buggy in the current pre-release version), Safari (although support is buggy in that) and Firefox.

It doesn't work in IE (which fails unobtrusively).

avatarBruce the fading target is so cool and something that fixes an issue I've been irritated by for a while. I use the in page links for things like glossaries and it's fine if the item is part way down the page as it jumps to the top, but if it's near the bottom it jumps into the middle of the page and is harder to find.

How flipping typical that IE doesn't support it though.

The jury is out on the scrolling though. I'm currently suffering from a bout of Vertigo and the auto scrolling page just makes me want to throw up so I'm not sure how it will affect people with permanent balance problems. Maybe the speed needs to be adjusted?
