I have a png images for the anything slider. The alpha (shadow on the image) is displaying solid instead of transparent in Internet Explorer only. Any suggestions on what I need to do to correct this?

Hi Chad

I just went to your site. Very nice site btw. Another for the showcase when it is updated, if that is acceptable to you.

I noticed your comment you made about your slider working fine, in the showcase thread. It kills me that your anything slider is working exactly the way ours worked in testing, but yet some others are having such problems. However, the issue that has been reported seems to be mainly surrounding using self hosted flv video in the anything slider, and we are investigating this, whereas your very beautiful slider is images with sidebars.

I regret I don't understand what you mean by the shadow (I am not a "designer" by trade and so "alpha" does not mean anything to me). I looked at the image shadow in both ie and ff, and to me they looked very similar at first glance.

Can you perhaps be more specific?

Best Regards
James

Thank you for your response, James. You can certainly use the website for the showcase. :) I think I have a unique approach for the anything slider.

I haven't tested the problem on the most recent version of ie. So, it may be a problem on an older version of ie like 7 or later, maybe. I will attach a screenshot that will show what i mean with the shadow. Basically the shadow is not showing up as see through or transparent. It is blocking solid color. Check out the screenshot and you should be able to tell what i mean.

I actually tested it on ie 8 and it has this shadow problem. So, I would say everything from ie 8 and older shows this version. The new ie 9 seems to display it fine.

Hi cporter17,
You can add ie_png class to your image to avoid this.

E.g

<img class="ie_png" src=".."/>

Hi KaptinLin,
Thank you for your response. I can see how that would work on an image that is in the body/content area, but how do I do this on the featured image of a slider without going into the hard code of theme and adding this to the php?

The image is being produced by the timthumb.php right?

I noticed that the image in the slideshow has the class of class="slideimage" in the slideshow.php file. If I added the "ie_png" class properties to the "slideimage" class properties, would that work?

Hi cporter17,
You can unzip the attache image to striking/js folder to fix this.

Hi KaptinLin
Thanks.
done. Seems to still have the problem. Can you check this on your side to make sure?

I was hoping to get some more support on this. I checked the javascript file you attached, that didn't seem to work. I added the css code to the DD_belatedPNG.fix{}

.anything_sidebar_image a img

I was hoping this would effect the image in the anything slider.

That didn't work either.

I am puzzled because the alpha transparency for the png buttons/shadows etc. works for all browsers except for a png in the slider itself.

I really think this is important.... could be a deal breaker for me or other customers.

Please advise on what my options are.

Will the attached file works?

If not works, also try this.

Let me know what's going on.

cporter17

Thank you. I will let you know.

Sorry. I would have tested it earlier but my site was down for a couple of days.
I uploaded both files to the js folder. The ie6.js still displays the problem. The anythingSliderInit.js made the anything slider go away, disapeared.

Hi.

Sorry for the delay.

You may try use the attached file to replace striking/js/custom.js file.

Hello,
Sorry to re-open such an old thread, but I'm having an issue with my anythingslider.

In Firefox, Chrome and Safari my png images are showing up with a white background.

I would really like to have a similar effect for my anythingslider that cporter17 has on the cantrell turf sight.

Don't worry, I have no plans on stealing the very unique "floorboard" look, I just want to be able to format my slider with h and ul tags and have transparent images load in.

the site is williamsmachineco.com

any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,

You may go to striking->color options page.

Set 'Anything Slider Background Color' to 'transparent'.
