jquery - IE shows black border around PNG when faded in

Question

Here is my site: http://smartpeopletalkfast.co.uk/ppr6/

I have PNGs with transparency fadein with jQuery. IE8 (havnt tested with others yet) is showing black borders around the PNGs while they fade in. I know this is a recognized issue and I've tried a few methods without luck.

However, I've noticed that the heart (the last image to load) doesn't have the black borders. Why is this one OK? Hopefully if I figure out why I can use it to fix the others.

Thanks

UPDATE

I'd played around with code so much I hadn't realized I'd unintentionally disabled the fade in of the heart, so thats why no borders.

It's a weird issue this one. In all the forums I've looked at their are solutions that seem to work for some people but not for others.

I know this thread is very old, anyways I found this post which worked great for me, it completely removes the black borders from PNG's in IE7, IE8.

.item img {
    background: transparent;
    -ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#00FFFFFF,endColorstr=#00FFFFFF)"; /* IE8 */   
    filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#00FFFFFF,endColorstr=#00FFFFFF);   /* IE6 & 7 */ 
}
