Need debugging help - javascript not firing in IE8

[mcarlucc]

The page in question works great on every browser except IE8. There is a div underneath the blue logo on the left hand side of the page that fades in with some copy. It is driven by a simple embedded script. However, I cannot figure out why it is not working in IE8. It just will not show up. I have tried multiple things and at this point I dont care if the fade in works, I just want the side text to appear on the left hand side of the page underneath the logo without having to reformat the page. I tried removing the javascript altogether and and removing the "Display: none" funtion from each div so they would be visible, but they are still not showing up. What gives?

The div that it being called by the javascript code is #wrapper_content_home, by which it contains three other divs within it that fade-in when the script id fired (#pageTitle, #solidDivider, #sideContent).

I am currently using VirtualBox to test and have it configured to Windows XP 32 bit using IE8.

Can anyone tell me what's wrong with my code or what I need to do to fix this issue? Could it be a Doctype declaration issue? At this point, I have no idea. Thanks in advance for any help with this!

Here is a JS Fiddle I set up for debugging (view my code): http://jsfiddle.net/FAzaD/2/

Where did you declare the Effect object? Best is get the latest browser. Then use the tools there. Quickly it gave me an error that Effect is undefined.

Not sure I am following. I wasn't aware that I needed to declare it anywhere. Is Effect not a pre-defined code property? If this is the case where and how do I declare it? Also, I am testing in IE8 via virtualbox since other options have proved to be inaccurate from a UX standpoint.

The only real core property is the ones on core javascript. getElementByTag, etc.
