Could not find a workaround for this bullshit and I tried everything.
Basically, I have a 24-bit PNG with alpha transparency. It's a person with a nice gradient drop shadow.
I'm using JQuery to make it fade into view and then fade out again by using animate(opacity).
MSIE8 and older can handle a 24-bit PNG with transparency. It can handle animate(opacity). It can't handle both at the same time. It renders the semitransparent area as opaque black.
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

Math is awesome. Math teachers though do their damn'dest to beat any possible enjoyment of math out of young children until they too learn that math is drudgery.
The super irritating thing about this bug isn't that it exists.
It's that the usual way of checking for bugs in MSIE layouts doesn't replicate this.
Normally you can take MSIE9 on Windows 7, set the window mode in developer tools to IE8, and see how the page renders in IE8. You can do the same in IE7.
Doing that, though, does not render this bug. You have to look at it on an actual MSIE8 machine or VM.
Fuck you, Internet Explorer.
Feral on

Oh, that sounds familiar. I remember IE using DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Opacity initially, which I bet CSS3 opacity is also using. The external object happens not to play well with PNG alpha channel. This is the problem with trying to farm off image rendering to system image libraries...

Any reason you can't just use a solid background that matches the page?
They moistly come out at night, moistly.

To be fair if you had to spend 20 years teaching 14 year olds long division you'd probably have a hard time not making it feel like drudgery too.
A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

Nah I just legit do not like math. I could do it when I forced myself to but pretty much everything past Algebra II was time I could have spent in another foreign language class.

Yep, that's the next thing I'm going to try. It just requires recreating the image in Photoshop for all the possible background combinations since the image itself gets re-used in a couple of different places. I just was really hoping I could fix it using some -ms-filter magic.

I can only think of two good teachers I've had in my years of college (including community).
My (Community College) Unix professor was awesome. Had a real passion for the subject. Also? Threatening to break my fingers if I used the arrow keys in vi is apparently an effective strategy.
And my Calculus 2 (in "real' college) professor had a strong understanding and was able to explain things well. Scraped a 'c', but that was completely my fault.

And a few years from now, someone will be looking at the site design, see what you did, and say "why the fuck didn't this guy just use a transparent background? What an idiot."
And thus the circle of "everyone who came before me is an idiot" continues.
So the wikipedia article on the Church-Turing thesis is nigh-identical to the first couple of pages of the material I have on the subject for my current Maths course.
I wonder which way round that happened.

It is ridiculous.
I got a little excited when I saw your ship.
that's what I am thinking

No.
Probably.
For my birthday last year they announced transgenderedness wasn't going to be a specific disorder in the DSM.
World events are always to make birthdays kick ass.
Thanatos, did you see my last post?

I don't agree with this
they're more interested in how things slide and fade into view than they are about the underlying database organization

I remember looking on Wikipedia at my birthday. I was fairly unimpressed.
I also found out I am not the Chinese zodiac that I thought I was, because of how the lunar year behaves.
Started with leprosy. Moved to lust. Then vagina dentata.
All tied to state building.
I'm at work.
