[Defacta]

Hi !

I have made a page in which the content of a <TD> appears
progressively:
Take a look here:
http://boxfly.free.fr/test/test_bold/test_bold.html
Width Firefox and Safari the text in bold appears normaly but not
width IE 7, I did a screenshots of my IE7 result:

Which result do you have with your browser ?

Thanks,
Vincent.

PS: Is it possible to install IE 6 and IE 5.5 without removing IE 7 to
make some tests ?

In both IE6/FF2.0.0.9 I get a result like the screenshot.

Hi !

I have made a page in which the content of a <TD>

Why a td? You are not going to abuse tables for layout purposes are you?

appears progressively:

Pointless eye candy.

I see the same. Same in IE6. IE 5.5 displays nothing.

With javascript disabled I see nothing in any browser to this page is not a
viable page for the web.

Try throwing all the eye candy javascript out and then see what the results
are. And try validating the page as well (hint, it won;t).

Yes. Google for multiple IE.

Make the background of the TD the same color as your main background.
You'll be amazed It's a well known bug with IE, bold fonts and
opacity. Good luck.

You can also disable the filter when opacity reaches 100%.
