hello, have you tried to add height:auto and width:auto for the images view on IE! or max-height and max-width, this usually results in IE rendering the correct aspect ratio when the images are kinda big…
I think you are talking about the CSS, aren’t you? height:auto and width:auto are something you’d put in the CSS.
@murphaloid What you are describing sounds pretty odd, as IE9 and 10 should behave pretty well. As felgall said, the ideal would be for us to see this ourselves. Is this online yet?
Looks absolutely fine to me in IE, but perhaps that’s because I’m on a Mac. Perhaps the opacity settings set by JS are causing the browser problems. How do the pictures look for you if you turn off JavaScript?
Really? Thats helpful to know…are you certain the large images look exactly the same if you switch to compatibility mode? The best image to test is to look at the writing on the door of the first image on the homepage.
I’ve just had a look, after stopping the slide show, and I CAN see differences in the sharpness. Using FF 17, Chrome 23 (when will this insane numbering race stop) and IE9 on my old Vista machine. The IE images are slightly lower contrast.
On my new (back from the repair shop) Windows 7 machine which has a sharper screen, I see it there too, for the same browsers.
It’s not your imagination.
Then I turned off Javascript in IE on the Windows 7 machine, and it made no difference (yes, I remembered to refresh the page as well). That door with writing on it is a good test image, I accidentally choose that one when I first looked.
That’s interesting, thanks for confirming that there is an IE issue. I’m completely stumped and desperately hoping some clever person out there can help me fix it ASAP!
Thanks for your replies so far. Any more ideas out there?
