[Plugin: Frontpage-Slideshow] Transition Effect in IE

  • Is anyone else experiencing a slight transition issue in IE 8 that doesn’t happen in FF or Chrome? For me, the text overlay goes to 100% opacity for a split second both coming in and going out.

    This minor detail won’t deter me from using the plugin, but I was hoping there might be some insight on whether or not this is possibly correctable. Don’t know if this would be a style or javascript issue.

  • Hum maybe both js/CSS … are you using IE8 mode or compatibility with IE7 one ? wich transition style are you using ?

    Thanks for the response.

    I was originally using IE 8 mode with the ‘drop out’ effect…I’ve just tried it in compatibility mode and that opened up another can of worms. Now the overlay remains 100% opacity at all times and you can see the image extending beyond the slideshow frame during transition. The latter isn’t happening with the ‘jump up’ effect, though the opacity issue remains.

    Great plugin overall…I just don’t want to have something on my site doing weird things in IE since it’s still so widely used.

    I had a brain cramp in my previous post…I meant “the former”, not “the latter.” You don’t see the image extend beyond the frame using the ‘jump up’ effect in compatibility view, but the opacity does remain at 100%.

    hum thanks for the report, I’ll have a look on this… do you use a “real” IE on a “real” or a virtualized or emulated IE ? just to be sure

    I’m using the real thing.

    If you’re at all interested, below is a link to a similar slider that I was going to install before I ran across your plugin. This one seems to display the same on later browsers:

    Of course, your plugin was more appealing…it would make things a lot easier because I’m hardly a coding expert.

    …of course, now that I’m looking at how the other slider is working, it looks like it’s actually using a transparent PNG background image for the text overlay and not CSS.

    Thanks for your attention on this, jeff_. I’ve found that just replacing the text overlay opacity style for ‘fs-text’ with a transparent PNG background and removing the IE ‘fs-text’ exception makes it display the same in the different browsers and makes it work the way I was hoping.

    I see… I note it… but the transparent png hack is… ewww kind of stinky ! I’ll find another way to fix this.
    Thanks anyway for the hack.

    I have the problem with IE8. The button are not appeared in theIE8.
    As I open the site it appeared and after first slide change they are not visible.
