Theme Issues using IE8 Beta 2

Marinelli banner transparency issue. In IE8 is missing transparent

marinelli/css/advertise.css

ORIGINAL CSS:

#banner-text{
	background: black; /* for older browsers */
}

REPAIRED CSS:

#banner-text{
	background: black; /* for older browsers */
	filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.alpha(opacity=70); /* IE8 banner transparency */
}

In IE8 missing page shadows

marinelli/css/layout.css
add this code into layout.css

.ie8 #pageBorder{ /* FIX IE8 border shadows */
	float: none;
	overflow: hidden;
	filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(color='#969696', Direction=135, Strength=10);
}

The lack of transparency doesn't seem a bug report to me since the theme is supposed to use css3 properties only for browsers that support them.
microsoft filters are not css3-compliant so i won't introduce them in the theme.

However you can use lneoj's suggestion in your personal subtheme to achieve the transparency effect in your specific installation.
Beside the transparency which other bugs have you noticed?

Hi I've noticed that the megamenu will only display one column in IE8 while it works perfectly in other browers.

I've also implemented lneoj's suggestions above, the transparency worked really well, however I don't seem to be able to get the page shadow effect.

thanks for your help

if you add the code for shadow there
sites/all/themes/marinelli/css/css3/css3_graphics.css
it will work

thanks Benevis!
