Thread: Is there a css fix for this yet?

My pages appear properly in FF and Google Chrome but they look horrible in IE. Nothing about the background is right. I don't know what to do.

Looks fine in IE9 (Windows 7). Please be more specific - what issues, what version of IE and what OS?

IE8 (Windows 7). The background images repeats instead of stretching. Then the center background which is supposed to be transparent appears a horrible green color.

I did not realize that IE9 was available. If this is corrected in IE9 then that is great but gee, people using previous versions of IE are not seeing the pages properly.... the pages are not even readable.

You're using some CSS properties that are quite new, such as "background-origin" and "background-clip". These are not supported by IE8.

You can serve IE8 (and lower) alternative presentation if you want. This could be done using conditional comments, CSS hacks, or a javascript polyfill such as Modernizr. Take your pick.

I do not know what any of those things are about. lol!

I am downloading IE9 for me but for other people are using older versions of IE.... I don't know. Do you think it is worth messing with?

Seems like a lot of people use IE but I don't know why because IE really sucks.

IE8 is a very popular browser. I do not recommend serving IE8 a broken experience.

That doesn't mean you need to give IE8 the same experience. Just not broken.

Because IE comes installed with their computer. It's what they know.

Besides, IE9 doesn't suck. Even IE8 is not that bad.
