$(document).ready(function(){
	$('#randomfact').load('randomfact.php');
	$('#getRandFact').click(function() {
		$('#randomfact').fadeOut('slow');
		$('#randomfact').load('randomfact.php');
		$('#randomfact').fadeIn('slow');
	});
	
});

Any suggestions as to why that doesn't work in IE?

jQuery is made to be compatible with IE, so it should work. Are you sure something else is not going on on the page, like a CSS issue with the layout that is affecting Explorer? What exactly is the problem? Link?

www.funfactz.com the INTERESTING FACTS bit.. try the refresh icon next to it.. it stays the same with IE but not Firefox.

Bump :/
