I made a little experiment, and converted this to a vanilla Javascript library. Relevant to some of the questions below about whether this should use jQuery or not. Edit: There were two gotchas beyond browser compatibility. jQuery provides a consistent interface to set numeric style values - in vanilla Javascript you have to remember to turn these numbers into strings suffixed with "px". And I hacked together the code that stops fadein and fadeout from stepping on each other.
