[jQuery] fixed cleartype fadeIn issue in IE, but element still doesn't start out hidden

[hypnos]

This works in firefox, I load the page into a div, hide it using $
(this).hide() then fade it in. The first function here fixes the issue
with fade in destroying cleartype text - but in IE you initially see
the ugly text and then when the fadeIn is done you get the cleartype
text. Before that nothing is hidden....
Any thoughts?

jQuery.fn.fadeIn = function(speed, callback) {
    return this.animate({opacity: 'show'}, speed, function() {
        if (jQuery.browser.msie)
                    this.style.removeAttribute('filter');
        if (jQuery.isFunction(callback))
            callback();
    });
};

     $(document).ready(function(){
        var page_name = $(document).getUrlParam("page");
        $("#loading").show("slow");

 $('.inner').load('content.php?page='+ page_name, function(){

                                                $("#loading").hide("slow");
                                                $(this).hide();
                                                $(this).fadeIn(4000);
});
         $("div#content").corner("dog2 30px");
         $('#off a').click(function() { //start function when any link
is clicked
                        if(!$(this).hasClass("current")) {
                        var _Href = $(this).attr('href');
                        $('#off a').removeClass("current");
                        $(this).addClass("current");
                                                 var content_show = 
$(this).attr("title");
                                                 $("#loading").show("slow");
                                        $('.inner').load('content.php?page='+ 
content_show, function(){
                                                $("#loading").hide("slow");
                                                $(this).hide();
                                                $(this).fadeIn(4000);
                                                document.title = content_show;
}); // close click

                        }
                return false;
        });
         });
