Color: Transparent Is Not Working In Internet Explorer

color: transparent is working in Firefox, but it's not working in Internet Explorer. What else I can use to make the font color transparent?

Solution 1:

According to CSS spec the color property doesn't have transparent value defined, so IE behavior is correct. If you want to have invisible element, use visibility: hidden.

Solution 2:

Use

rgba(112, 112, 112, 0.5)

where 0.5 is opacity level instead of

#hexcodes

Solution 3:

I would use visibility: hidden. The element will take up the same space, but it will be invisible. visibility is supported in IE 5+ as well as all major browsers.

See: CSS Compatibility and Internet Explorer

Solution 4:

well - browsers interpret many things differently... the ie is the worst case in this scenario... you will see ^^ even different versions of the same browser will react differently!!! so it is important that you tell us, which exact version of ie you mean!

in your case: try

filter: alpha(opacity=60);

Solution 5:

use ie filters http://www.ssi-developer.net/css/visual-filters.shtml
