Of course, that includes opacity which people have been writing extra cruft for already because of ie. http://realtech.burningbird.net/graphics/css/opacity-returns-ie8
You used to only need this to get nice browser compatible opacity: opacity: .5; filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=50); zoom: 1; ^_^ Now you need: opacity: .5; -ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=50)"; filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=50); zoom: 1; So if you want to have IE8 compatibility you either need to go back to every place you ever used filter and add a second rule just for ie8. Or add a tag to all your web pages that have a use of filter: in them to downgrade IE8 to IE7 mode. ((Well, not that many people are using IE8... At least to browse Wikipedia)) That makes me wonder, did they screw up the js to? Does jQuery need an upgrade on it's opacity: fixes for IE8 in IE8 strict mode? Mmm... Gotta love preprocessed css, you don't need to worry about any of those. Maybe I'll add text shadow to my list. ~Daniel Friesen (Dantman, Nadir-Seen-Fire) [http://daniel.friesen.name] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jQuery Development" group.
