Issue Summary

Lightbox2 is working just fine in Firefox, but in IE the opacity doesn't work at all and the area around lightbox2 is rendered black.

I have changed between different opacity settings and they are visible noticeable in Firefox, but remain black in IE.

Title:Opacity doesn't work in IE7» Opacity doesn't work in IE7/IE8

I have the same problem. It works beautifully in FF, but in IE7/8 it is just black...

Yes, it's happening the same to me when showing photos. However, using lightvideo it doesn't happen.

#3

The official Website has the same problem... :(

Can we made a fix with JQuery or CSS?

Any updates on this? I've run into something similar today. On one of my pages, only with IE8 on Vista, the background goes to all black. Other pc's with XP and IE8 are fine, FF and chrome are fine. Other pages on my site with the same blocks in the sidebar containing lightvideo and lightshow elements are fine with this browser. There's nothing I see that's unusual with the content on the page.

With IE8 on Vista I get the same result, all black background, with the examples on http://www.stellapower.net/lightbox2 .

You seem to have fixed this IE 8 opacity issue - how did you do it??

I'm also encountering this error on W7/IE8.
I suspect the error is the same IE8 bug as I encountered with some JQuery code.
It appears if there is no innitial oppacity set, IE messes up the transparency.

In my jquery sample i just fixed this by setting a start value, but i'm not sure how i would go about this with the lightbox module
maybe the devs know how too ?
