jQuery delay anything other than jQuery's effect functions

Stefan Siebel says here:

"Taking a closer look at the delay function showed me that only functions that are queued in jQuery’s default 'fx' queue are delayed by a delay-call like the one [here]. If you want to delay e.g. the trigger function you either need to queue it in the fx-queue or in a separate queue."

jQuery fadeIn and IE7-8 opacity

FadeIn on an absolutely positioned div with opacity=80 wasn't working on IE7-8.  Found the solution on stackoverflow:  set filter on the element before calling fadeIn.  For example:

$("#testdiv").css('filter', 'alpha(opacity=80)').fadeIn();

Set IE compatibility to highest available

Use:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"/>
