   Hi
   Can someone with IE test my site http://michaelclements.co.uk/

   There should be a sidebar which shows at the top, I can get it working in safari, opera and firefox older versions, but had a look today briefly on internet explorer which showed no sidebar, I'm on a mac and explorer is discontinued, but would like to know if it works in ie6 and above (7 and 8).

   Many thanks in advance.

   Michael.

   Here is a screenshot of your page in IE8. I am on a windows vista system. It also shows up the same on the latest versions of Safari, Google Chrome, Opera, and Seamonkey. On Google Chrome and Safari as you scroll down the sidebar background opacity changes to about 50% or so but on the rest it stays white. It didn't show up in Maxthon 2.

   Hope this helps for you.

   If the opacity is intentional and is in your CSS you can add any of the lines below for the different browsers as needed.

   For 60% (just change the 6 for your prefered opacity)

   opacity: .6;
   -moz-opacity: .6;
   filter: alpha(opacity=60);

   For 100%

   opacity: 1;
   -moz-opacity: 1;
   filter: alpha(opacity=100);

   thanks dtiger. couldn't get your link to work unfortunately, can't say i've had any maxthon visits to speak of, just trying cover all bases for modern and legacy within reason, I'' just give your code a try now, see if it works the same as using rgba.
   Many thanks for your help!

   ps. yes, the opacity is intentional, but i noticed the older browsers wouldn't render rgba, so put a second background value into the container that was solid.

   ah okay, just tried the code above and it renders the whole sidebar with transparency including the text.

   I'm quite happy with the transparency working in safari and firefox, if explorer renders the sidebar with a solid white background then everything is good.

   I just had a little freak out this afternoon in an internet cafe when the sidebar didn't show up at all, very odd, and being a mac user I couldn't find out where to find out what version of ie was running on the pc....
