Why would this simple line of code work perfectly in firefox e.t.c but in IE it creates some weird fade issue.
#content { background:url(images/bg-trans.png) repeat; padding:25px 21px; width:918px; overflow:hidden; }
Its like the transparency is started in a corner but then it gradually fades out…very annoying!!!
I ran into this awhile ago with IE8.
It’s because you have a 1×1 background png with transparency. For some reason, IE8 borks on these, and applies them as a fading gradient down a large area.
The solution, oddly enough, is to simply make your background .png file bigger in dimension. 1×2 or 2×1 will do it. To be nice to the browsers, something a little bigger is better, 10×10 or 20×20 maybe, as this means they don’t have to render it so many times across the background.
