Q789 How can I fade text, like some pages fade the background, so that it initially matches the background color and gradually fades into visiblity?

Only in Microsoft Internet Explorer is this possible. You could adapt the background fade script in Keith Drakard's article Fancy Background Fader, by altering the line:

document.bgColor= getHex(red,green,blue);

to:

document.fgColor= getHex(red,green,blue);

In Netscape Navigator, the fgColor is writeable, but it does not effect the existing foreground color.
