Slideshow pixelating fonts in IE only?
Hello all,
I have been trying to figure this one out for a while, and have decided I need help. I also need help with this pixelating problem please. The site to look at for an example is: http://www.gcresidential.com.au The code has not been cleaned up yet, but it is live. On the right column there is a featured properties slideshow which works perfectly everywhere except IE (7+8 - can't test 6). Both of these display the items perfectly when first loaded, but when it changes all the bold fonts get heavily pixelated making it close to impossible to read. What could it be? Thanks in advanced for your help. Waiting patiently, Joe

This is a bug in IE which distorts bold text inside an element with the alpha filter placed on it.
I seem to recall, if you explicitly set the background color of the text container it fixes it... so you would have something like: Code:
.container {
filter: alpha(opacity=100);
background-color: #ccc; /*Somekind of grey*/
}
.text {
font-weight: bold;
background-color: #ccc; /*This shouldn't be needed because it should inherit the
backgroundcolor from the parent container, however,
setting it manually, *should* fix it*/
}
<div class="container">
...
<span class="text">Bold heading text here</span>
...
</div>
Hope that helps

Perfect (ish)
Thanks heaps Scoper,
This certainly did the trick and my client just emailed that he is happy with it now. Yes, I have a client who stays up with me until 2am. IE still displays it a bit dodgy, but it is readable at least. IE users should be used to it by now. Thanks again!
