Thanks for having a look PhistucK (youve helped me out alot in the past, so thanks for still doing ya awesome work).
Maybe I should have said more....
Here's the original running off straight css....
...thats what it should look like.
Mine is supposed to be the same thing but using element.animate (hope thats what ya call it).
But, nothing happens, it just seems to ignore the filter bit or maybe the problem is the url bit...and thats my problem, I have no idea what the problem is and would LOVE some idea as to why? I thought it was meant to work the same as the css equivalent.
That one line you uncommented (guessing which one it is) will apply the filter to the test block and it does work (so it shows that the filter and the url are correct).
