I have an element that uses a PNG with alpha as the background, and I
want to do an fade/appear effect on it.
It seems that on IE the two Microsoft filters that are needed for
both the fade and the PNG background are conflicting with each other.
If I fade the same element that already is using the
"Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader" filter, I loose the alpha channel.
Simple solution was to put the PNG background in a inner div and that
worked.
<div id="foobar">
<div id="foobarBG"></div>
</div>
then do the fade/appear on the "foobar" element, while the
Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader filter is applied to "foobarBG"
Like I said this all works great (although it is an annoying IE
workaround)
My problem comes when I try to put something in the "foobarBG" element
<div id="foobar">
<div id="foobarBG">
<p>This is some text</p>
</div>
</div>
What IE is doing is "knocking out" the actual text so that I see a
"Hole" through my background. When the element is all the way faded
on the text POPS on over the hole it created.
So, the question here is: Is it at all posable to use fade/appear in
conjunction with a PNG background on IE, and if so, whats the
workaround?
Thanks.
