Has anyone noticed that dragged items stop using ClearType in IE7? It seems that IE7 is doing its own thing relative to ClearType, regardless of the universal display setting (which worked with IE6 and other browsers). By default IE7 always uses ClearType* and this causes problems for Draggable items because they stop using ClearType once dragged. This is easily demonstrated using the Sortable Lists demo http://wiki.script.aculo.us/scriptaculous/show/SortableListsDemo As far as I can tell this is because the opacity has been changed. By removing the filter style using the DOM inspector I was able to reinstate ClearType but I haven''t been able to achieve this programatically. Although the filter style is returned to "" after dragging its presence appears to prevent ClearType from being reinstated. I tried tinkering with an endeffect callback but wasn''t able to do anything useful. Any ideas? * Tools>Internet Options>Advanced>Multimedia>Always use ClearType --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.

I know this is a convoluted way of doing things, but, does it work ? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.

Yea I noticed this too but just dismissed it as a bug in IE. It was wierd because some of my sortables would revert back to cleartype after being moved and others wouldn''t. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.

I may have found an explanation on Scott Andrew LePera''s blog...

I''ve noticed the same thing but not with draggables, rather the resizing of dom elements via el (where el is an object reference) .style.height and style.width I noticed the text in the buttons that were contained within the div seemed to change but hadn''t put it down to clear type. I guess it''s an IE bug, just add it to the list.

Think that''s a different bug to the one I was getting but also useful to know.
