Any idea as to why the background color for an album image description does not work in IE 8 ?

IE 8

Works fine in Firefox and IE 9 ...

    Cause IE 8 don't support rgba colors. I think I didn't add fallback color in this case. I will have to think about it. Any way it will be solid color, with no transparency for IE 8 and lower.

    With regards.

    A solid color as a back-up for IE 8 would be great if possible for those not using a later browser.

    Here is an IE option which maybe you can possibly implement as a fallback ?

    filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#50990000,endColorstr=#50990000);

  • This may be useful in terms of allowing the transparency in IE 8, too

    Yes I know that all, thanks ;-) It is implemented in whole Spaceship theme, but this place I forgot to add some fallback, cause it is set by JavaScript. I will try to make something if there is so much need for IE 8 color there :-)

    With regards.

    Cause it will be made by inline CSS I can't use IE filter, cause it will affect IE 9 in bad way. When I will be done it will use solid color for IE 8 as fallback.

    OK, so firstly switch to not compressed version, and then upload file from zip to spaceship/js and IE 8 should play nice now :-)

    With regards.
