CDC Studios: Cleartype sucks

    Yeah, I've seen that issue too before in IE6 when fading text in and out (as you mentioned). I think the work around I did was to just not have that effect :-/

    yeah it's really tragic that a great effect that works well and is part of the wc3 standards (which Microsoft is purportedly a contributing member, not that they contribute too much).

    I guess IE 8 which is slated for a July 2011 release will probably fix the issue.

    Let us know if you ever get a response.

    You can avoid this problem by setting a background-color on the same element that you are setting the opacity to. For example:

    #example {
    opacity: 0.5;
    filter: alpha(opacity=50);
    -moz-opacity: 0.5;
    background-color: #fff;
    }

    That is a valid workaround but it's also somewhat of a hack.
