Opacity and IE problem

[ingasos]

I've had a look and cant find this problem on the forum.

I have a website with a background image on all the pages which you will see the http://www.eost.org.uk/ I've done a workaround by creating the background image with 20% opacity applied to it (in advance and not via the properties for the image) and then used that image as my background image.

So I have a workaround which is fine, but I wandered if the following is a known problem when using IE.

If you go to my test page (link below) using IE and then Chrome or one of the other browsers you will see the problem. Both images on this test page are the same. The left hand one as 20% opacity applied in the properties of the image and the right hand one is 100% opacity.

Any thought on this problem? its it a case of good old IE wont display opacity properly?

Thanks

You have enable 'IE=EmulateIE8' in the page properties, this will force IE to use a very old rendering engine that does not support transparency.

Well spotted Pablo. This site was created back in 2011 so that explains why the problem only came to light after I updated the some of the text on some of the pages yesterday.

Thanks again, I now know how to sort this one properly.
