Re: [jQuery] Blurry Text using JQuery... But only in IE

[Paul McLanahan]

I had this IE bug crop up on a recent project.  You have to set the background color of the element to which you are applying the fade.  This is very unfortunate for me as I have the fade happening over a repeating background which is in a containing element.  So I have no fix that will work save telling people to avoid IE6.  IE7 handles the problem by turning off ClearType for elements to which a filter is applied.... but that won't help me until the IE6 market share drops sharply when IE7 is pushed to everyone via windows update.

I've scouered the net looking for a fix for this other than the background color... so if anyone knows of one, I'd love to hear it.

Klaus,

This sounds like it could be the solution to a problem I'm having using fade. In IE when the text is bold, the fade animations have a bad effect on bolded text. I didn't think of it as being blurred or being rendered twice at slightly different starting points, but that could easily describe the problem I'm having.

Your solution for this IE bug, has to specify a background color "even if it's redundant". Can you expand on this? What do I add the background color to? The text that is being faded?

Thanks,
Chris

My company has an internal Portal system and I was planning on making some major changes to the functionality it offers by enhancing it with JQuery powered features.  However, I've run into a problem with one of these features (dubbed "Portal Gadgets").  When my page loads up, I use "load" to pull content from another page via AJAX.  Some of these content elements utilize my JTicker plugin.


My problem is that the text in the JTicker plugin is coming in blurry.  It's almost like it is being rendered twice by Internet Explorer.  (One time slightly off from the other.)  FireFox doesn't exhibit this problem at all.


Could you take a look at this page and let me know what I can do to fix this?  Is it a bug in JTicker?  JQuery?  My Portal Gadgets code?

Here's a sample page:

Thanks in advance,

If you use fade to show the ticker content, then you have to specify a 
background color, even if it is redundant. That stops the blurry text 
(this is a known bug in IE).
