Oh it actually does fade in IE, and indeed the technique used is
<META http-equiv="Page-Enter" content="blendTrans(Duration=0.3)">
<META http-equiv="Page-Exit" content="blendTrans(Duration=0.3)">
between the head tags...

However, the timing is set so short it's bearly visible when loading the
pages :-(

Timing is given in seconds, so 0.3 means three tenth of a second.
Maybe, if using the effect, play with the timing a bit to have it more
"visible".

And no Kim, I don't mind using some proprietary effects, since after all
about 95% out there uses IExplore.
All others just miss this transition but can see the page just as well.
