jQuery Mouse Flicker in IE

When I execute a jQuery function like .fadeIn, .fadeOut, .slideUp, .slideDown, .toggle, etc. in IE the mouse always flickers and the hourglass quickly flickers in and ou开发者_如何学Pythont of view next to the cursor. I've tried different methods of hiding the mouse entirely while the animation is going on to no avail, plus I don't want that in most cases anyways.

Does anyone have another solution to fix this?

If you are doing animation on anything that has a CSS defined background image, IE will do this. If you can do that in another way (<img> tag, exclude that element when IE animates, etc) it should eliminate the flicker.
