Using Internet Explorer filters and ClearType -

-

i've read @ length issues ie disabling cleartype when using filters, , i'm hoping conclusions wrong. seems impossible turn cleartype on after applying filter (e.g. shadow or alpha). so?

with every other browser supporting text-shadow i'd able use it, falling on ie's shadow or dropshadow filter when necessary. applying filter text makes terrible.

is there way enable both cleartype , filters in internet explorer?

some sources:

is there way enable both cleartype , filters in internet explorer?

no. filters came before cleartype support in internet explorer , never designed work partial transparency. issue in blog post linked never fixed and, css3 improvements in latest browsers, future's bleak filters.

there tricks can use approximate text-shadow in internet explorer, however. varying approaches involve positioning copy of element directly below, containing same text applying blur or shadow filters.

double-markup method, works ie 6-9

assuming you're applying shadow in moderation, example section title or photo caption, can duplicate text 2 separate elements , position 1 @ back, blurring filter:

<h1><span class=".shadow">fear shadow!</span><span>fear shadow</span></h1> 
body { background-color: lightgreen; } h1 {     color: white;     font-family: helvetica,arial,sans-serif;     font-weight: bold;     font-size: 1.2em;     text-shadow: #333 2px 2px 3px;     padding-bottom:2px; } .shadow { display: none; } /* non-ie browsers */ .ie > h1 > span {     position: absolute;     color: white; } .ie > h1 > span.shadow {      display: inline-block;     zoom: 1;     color: #333;     filter: progid:dximagetransform.microsoft.blur(pixelradius=2); }

for ie6, need omit direct-descendant selector >. doesn't great in ie 6, though.

easy method — using :before , attr()

by far easiest approach 1 requires no javascript, works in ie 8 , ie 9 because relies on :before pseudo-class , css attr() function. require targeting css towards specific versions of ie, though.

h1 {     color: white;     font-family: helvetica,arial,sans-serif;     font-weight: bold;     font-size: 1.2em;     text-shadow: #333 2px 2px 3px;     padding-bottom:2px; } .ie8and9 > h1 {     zoom: 1; /* make element have layout */     color: #333;     filter: progid:dximagetransform.microsoft.blur(pixelradius=2); } .ie8and9 > h1:before {     position: absolute;     color: white;     content: attr(data-innertext); }

i think may have found bug in webmatrix's pagedata, not sure. concerns how pass data partial page calling page. in webmatrix documentation (tutorials, e.g. " 3 - creating consistent look ", , example code), pagedata recommended mechanism pass data between pages (e.g. content page layout page, or partial page). however have found not work other way, pass data partial page calling page. modifying or adding entries in pagedata in partial page, not seem calling page. cutting right down simplest possible example, in test page may have this: @{ pagedata["test"] = "initial entry"; } <p>before calling partial page, test value @pagedata["test"]</p> @renderpage("_testpartial.cshtml") <p>after returning calling page, test value @pagedata["test"]</p> and in _testpartial.cshtml page might have this: @{ pagedata["test"] = "modified entry"; } <p>in partial page...

how set z-index drawing object when using drawingcontext.drawxxx() methods? the object drawn last have higher z index. can't change index of drawn objects. way draw in order. if using wpf (as placed tag), can use, example, canvas control. create shapes need like polyline obj = new polyline(); //... // ... set properties of obj and add them canvas uielementcollection: yourcanvasname.children.add(obj); //or yourcanvasname.children.insert(i, obj); first items of collection have higher z index. advantages in way: no need redraw on window changes, can anytime move objects , change order.
