Description

[Olaf Fraczyk]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020809
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007

The FILTER Alpha is not working correctly.

<center><div style="position:relative; width:170;	FILTER:
Alpha(Opacity=100,FinishOpacity=70,Style=2); z-index: 1;"><a
href=index_pl.php?page=pdf/PDFinfo.php><img src="graphic/KoncertLogo.gif"
width=170 border=0 />

This is also not working in Linux.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Load this page:
http://www.lilith.pl/index_pl.php?page=pdf/PDFinfo.php

Actual Results:  
 The text "Lilith   Info   Ludzie   P&#322;yty   MP3   Forum   Galeria   Media  
FanClub   Ksi&#281;ga   Kontakt   Mapa" is on light blue bar. 
In IE it is semi-opaque and the opacity is changing. It work well with IE (tried
5.5 and 6.0)

Expected Results:  
Act in the same way as IE.

'filter' is a non-standard IE extension.

Comment 3

[Olaf Fraczyk]

Maybe Mozilla should work with this extension?
Is it possible to get the same effect using standard methods?
I want to mail this page owner, but I would like to give him some alternative.

Why is it INVALID?
I want to see this page correctly. As I work with linux 99% time, the solution
to use IE instead, is not for me!

I think, that if mozilla is going to be used by more than 1% of users it needs
to correctly render pages if they render correctly in IE.
Please leave it OPEN, maybe somebody will add support to this extension in the
future.
I have changed the severity to enhancement.

check bug 109437.

for a fix with Gecko (still non standard), use "-moz-opacity".
Opacity will come CSS3 afaik:
See http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2001Mar/0165.html

check working example (wth Gecko) here:
http://www.hixie.ch/tests/adhoc/css/mozilla/opacity/003.xml
Search 'moz-opacity' in bugzilla to find relevant bug reports dealing with perf,
etc.
