Hello:

I'm glad to have found this group as I'm very eager to get
Sciptaculous working properly. I recently discovered Scriptaculous,
and I tested version 1.6.4 on a website I built for my friend, using
<body onLoad="appearFromInvisible()">. It worked perfectly in IE, but
in Firefox, upper-case letters (especially of white fonts) displayed
half green when they completed fading in. Now that I upgraded to the
latest version of Scriptaculous 1.8.3, the green color only flashes
momentarily onto the white fonts just before completeley fading in.
Are you familiar with this problem? Is there a way to correct it?

The test page showing the problem: http://www.billyjoeconor.com/home-test.html

Thanks

Hi Kenny,

I tested the link with FF3.5 and it works :))
Which version has this problem ??

btw, one suggestion is to be sure that the starting color is defined
in the CSS before the effects start. But default color in
scriptaculous is white so ....

Hi again,

I've checked on on another computer, and I see a problem in the menu
when first overing an element.
What I see is not a color problem, but an opacity problem.
Menu element's opacity is not set at page definition, so when the
first effect appears, scriptaculous set by default opacity to 1. For
other effects, no problem as the value is set at the element's level.

Hi David:

Thanks very much for your replies which I eagerly awaited.
unfortunately
just now I noticed them although I checked every day. Thanks
especially
for checking the page as you have. Using FF3.5.5 I still see green
coloring on
most of the uppercase letters. I'll re-read your suggestions and get
back to you.

Thanks
