Footer image problems

[Jordan]

I can view in IE8, but I don't see a logo in the header on this site: newwebsite.robertcity.com/

I just see the text RobertCity.com.

Sorry now look.

[Jordan]

Ah, yeah I've had that problem before. The easiest thing to do in your case would be to just make the image background transparent. Do you have a program such as photoshop or gimp installed on your computer?

Yes, in fact I used GIMP to design my layout.

Why does IE do that though?

To be honest, I don't know. I found this link which says that there could be gamma data which causes IE to render it differently.

That's kind of stupid.



Logo transparent, still have color problems.

[Jordan]

It's very stupid.

I hard refreshed (CTRL F5), and the different background in Internet Explorer 8 disappeared.

[Robyn]

Use browsershots to see what I mean. I use IE7.

[Jordan]

I don't deal with images much so I'm not sure what the problem is off the top of my head. I did a Google search and found this: "unfortunately, though IE7 supports transparent PNG's, only one filter can be applied to an element at a time", but I have no idea if this applies to you or not. Your best bet you would be to search around or Google, or just put a message on your site saying to not use IE7. ;P

[Robyn]

I wasn't sure if you were the type who would say 'You must support IE7!" or not, so I didn't dare say that. But since you stated it, I'm comfortable saying taht I don't really care how my website looks like in IE 7>

[Jordan]

Na, I'm not a fan of supporting all of the Internet Explorer browser's (when it comes to non commercial websites, of course). If people want to use old incompetent browser's that's their problem. ;P

[Robyn]

Yes, and it turns out that IE6 is still one of the main browsers uses to accept my websites.

I don't know if I should make a new thread, so I'll just reply here.

Check out my website newwebsite.robertcity.com

I'm trying to modify the footer a bit.

You see the image at the bottom? I'm wanting to somehow get it so that the content above goes 'into' the white 'area' of the image. But the problem I see is that I can't make it have two backgrounds [one for the main image in the center, and one for the bg 'behind' the image], and if I have an image in the center, the content can't go over it anyway.

So how might I succeed in doing said task?
