    IE background image bug

    Does anyone else find that if you use background-image:url('...') in IE there is always a faint unsightly border round it that isn't present in other browsers? There are no links on the image and setting border:none on all images doesn't work.

    This only started happening with IE8 that I noticed.

        Cheers. Like here. I can see a faint line across the top of the tabs and under the home tab. There are links on those but removing the link makes no difference. It isn't the td either, same with any element with a backgound image.

          I'm struggling to see a feint line in IE8 (or FF, Chrome). But I can see how the design could give your eyes that illusion.

          Can anybody else see this?

          Edit: Would it possible to post a screenshot of what you see?

            I can see the line, if you zoom in on ie9/ie8 you can see it. I can also see it on FireFox when i zoom in but its not as obvious. To me it looks like the tab background image is slightly lighter than the background colour. So the tab is #319CFF and the background colour is #3399FF.

              True there is a very slight mismatch in colour, but this is a distinct darker outline. This what I'm seeing:



              Nowt to do with anything in style. This minimum HTML still shows it:

              <span style="width:100px; height:40px; background-image:url('image_files/tab1open.jpg');"}>xxxxxxxxxxx</span>

              Maybe some wierd thing with my machine.

                I see it now zoomed right in.

                I agree with woohoo about the colors.

                tab=#319CFF
                below tab =##3399FF

                  But not the fine much darker outline as in that picture? Oh well, If it's not a common thing I won't bother about it. Cheers.

                    Couldn't see it in IE8, or in FF or Chromium in Linux
