I'm trying to make the background-color
of a tr
opaque with this CSS:
.faded{
background-color: red;
height: 100px;
opacity: 0.4;
filter: alpha(opacity=50);
}
Here is my test HTML:
<table>
<tr class="faded">
<td><div>testtesttesttestt</div></td>
<td><div>testtsttesttesttt</div></td>
</tr>
</table>
Everything works fine in IE9,10 FF24 Chrome 31+, but not in IE11. Please keep in mind that I don't care about the content of the table rows, only the background opacity. Screenshots and Jsfiddle below.
IE10:
IE11:
So, what's going on here?
EDIT: I've submitted a bug report to Microsoft: https://connect.microsoft.com/IE/feedback/details/868842/ie-11-setting-css-opacity-on-a-table-row-doesnt-affect-the-background-color-of-that-row
EDIT 2: This bug was confirmed by Microsoft
EDIT 3: Microsoft has moved this bug to a new location: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/platform/issues/212446/
That appears to be yet another IE bug.. As a work-around, you could instead add the
opacity
via the background property with argba()
color. Then simply add the opacity to thetd
element.Updated Example - results seem consistent across browsers.
Try adding
<!DOCTYPE html>
declaration. See this answeradd this line to the head of your html, and the opacity will work fine
