I commonly use "feature detection" to make my scripts cross-browser compatible. ie:

 
if(document.getElementById)

or

if(document.images)

I need to detect whether or not the user's browser will perform IE's "blendtrans" filter.

if this browser does filters
 document.images.Pic1.style.filter="blendTrans(duration=1)";
 document.images.Pic1.filters.blendTrans.Apply();
 document.images.Pic1.src = image;
 document.images.Pic1.filters.blendTrans.Play();

Actually, I remember posting a question about this code to another forum several months ago, and someone directed me to a website that explained how to make a fade-in work in each of the major browsers, but I've searched the forum (and the web), and can't find it.

Any aid is appreciated...

Found the site - their script doesn't use feature detection. It's a good solution, but I'd still like to hear from anyone who knows how to do feature detection with the IE filter method...

Probably quite simple really,

If it isn't IE;


It doesn't

You should be OK with:

if(document.images[0].filters)
 ...

although it's better to simulate the effect for all browsers with a common routine.
