I didn't look at the script, but it seems like some MS proprietary filter
at work as the fade-ins and -outs only work in ie. The effect can be
replicated in other browsers with the not-yet-standard "opacity" css
attribute.

I'm not going to do it because you couldn't afford how long it would take
me, but it's possible. For a taste, check out the following link in any
main browser _but_ ie with javascript enabled. The effect occurs upon
loading and could easily be converted to a mouseover response.
