IE7 and IE8 Features sliuder issue

[finx 0]

I'm having an issue displaying my Feature area on IE7and IE8. IE9 looks fine. The white or black shading isnt there making the words extremely hard to read. It doesnt look so bad on this slide but the other slides are extremely hard to read. How can I fix this in IE7 and IE8? IE6 looks HORRID but I dont care too much about that. If you're still using IE6 You don't deserve to look at my website.

Are you using PageLines Framework?

The slider uses jQuery. I do not know if IE7 uses that or supports it. IE8 probably does, but can't be so sure. We don't support IE7 and 8 because they're deprecated by the developer. We use CSS3 and HTML5, both of which post date the earlier IE products. Apologies for the inconvenience. I'd suggest searching http://www.wordpress.org/extend/plugins for a slider that's IE7 compatible. Just make sure it's also compatible with WP 3.4.1 to make sure it's up to date. You can always apply a different slider.

You can do this by creating a transparent image in photoshop. Then add a top layer of black or white and apply an opacity to the layer (eg 35%). The image need only be 1x1 pixels in size. Save the image as a PNG file. Upload the image to wp-content/pagelines/images/trans35.png Then add the following style to your child theme: .fcontent { background-image:url(../pagelines/images/trans35.png) } Works for IE7 and IE8 - won't work in IE6
