First off, I am currently using JQuery so JQuery solutions viable.

I want to rotate an image by a dynamic X degrees which is calculated every sec.

Now I had this working perfectly using this JqueryRotate plugin

The image is rotated perfectly every sec. But I am trying something a little more complicated now.

I want to rotate 4 transparent images on top of each other. Currently I have four <img> tags all correctly aligned and looking nice and pretty ^_^ but using the JqueryRotate plugin that I mentioned earlier forces a redrawing of the image to rotate it losing the transparency so only the top most image is displayed which obviously isn’t going to work.

So, What is a good library / plugin or way of rotating an Image whilst keeping transparency?*

Must work in Opera, Safari, Chrome, Firefox and IE8+

I am hoping not to have to include another library for this but if need be I will do so to create this effect of rotating the 4 images. Thanks in advance.

    You could look at using Canvas. No native support from IE 8 but there is a plugin: http://ajaxian.com/archives/explorer-canvas-updated-for-ie-8-and-more.

    If you were willing to live with the plugin requirement, Canvas should make your job easy.
