IE7 PNG Bug?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 11.2008

I’ve stumbled across a bug only in Internet Explorer 7, when you take a PNG and stretch it. Like I did on this page [url]www.dotswoof.com/test/Tester3.html[/url] for the drop shadow below the blue bar and on most of the page, it slowly fades to nothingness on IE7.

Firefox, Safari, and all older versions of IE display the image fine. But IE7 fades them out to nothing. And after some google searching I found that I’m not the only one with this problem.

Does anyone have any ideas to fix this, or at least work around it? I can’t use gifs since they have this habit of adding white where I don’t want it.

@LampArtProauthorJul 11.2008 — Hm, very strange. Thank you very much then. Its happening on mine, and I know it happened to other people. But as long as its not happening to everyone who sees it.

I just don't want to be blamed for the results of such a poor product as IE.

@WebJoelJul 12.2008 — ...[I]when you take a PNG and stretch it.[/I][/QUOTE] Out of curiosity, -why are you 'stretching' an image? If the image is repeating or needs to repeat, why not just do that? Or, are you trying to incorporate a left & right 'edge' of cuviness and thus, not need to have 'end images' with 'repeating center' (otherwise, "fluid" effect)?

I have to admit, the same question occured to me.

@LampArtProauthorJul 12.2008 — If you remember from my other threads, I was repeating the images. But for some reason that causes Internet explorer to freak out. So to fix that I took the same image I was repeating and stretched it the length of the area I wanted to fill. Since the image was only 1 pixel wide, there was no distortion.

But for some reason certain Internet Explorer 7's show the image fading down to nothing from left to right. Screen shot here.

I have no idea why its doing it, and from what I can tell, the only way to fix it is to repeat it. Which I may or may not do. Considering the last time I repeated the image, it caused massive gaps to appear randomly in my code. But then again, I've coded the site over from scratch, so maybe it'll work this time.

Success!
