    Greetings!

    In IE8 (unfortunately, it is the default IE browser for all of us at NASA on Windows machines), the file link icon is also displaying the link. Before I research the use of :

    a[href$='.doc']

    …and IE8 issues, I wanted to see if you can provide any insight on how to fix this.

    Here’s the screenshot:

    Doctype is specified:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

    I’ll report back if I can provide a solution.

    Thanks!

    Hey Joe, thanks for using my plugin! I hadn’t tested the CSS against IE8, as I should have. I will look into a solution now…

    Hi Shaun,

    My immediate response I’ve found is that IE (versions TBD) doesn’t support:

    color: transparent

    So a suggestion on Stack Exchange recommended that you also make the font-size (**and also the line height) to be 0;

    https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2790181/color-transparent-not-working

    font-size: 0;
    line-height: 0;

    Note: The font-size:0 usage (and also perhaps line-height:0) requires a valid DOCTYPE.

    I’ll drill into this further after the holiday is over.

    (For IE7 and below, I’ve simply added a magic CSS command that either automatically upgrades or shuts down the user’s computer ?? )

    Awesome, thank you! Please let me know if you can get it to work, as I do not have a reliable way to test IE8.

    If your solution works, I will add it to the next version of the plugin.

    Joe – I’m going to mark this issue as resolved, based on the solution you provided. If you have tested it and could confirm that it works, that would be awesome. Thanks!
