Distorted images in IE

Post by terjemjelde »

I've been setting up a blog using Firefox, experiencing no problems whatsoever :)
However, I switched to IE just to check the site, and discovered that some images gets distorted. I've put up some screenshots:

How it looks in Internet Explorer (images are distorted)
How it looks in Firefox (images look correct)

(Yes, I know it's an excessive number of categories, but it's just for testing)

I've tried cleaning out every plugin I've added, and also tried several templates, but the problem still remains.

I'm using Serendipity 1.03beta, and tested it under both PHP 4.3.11 and PHP 5.12.

Does anyone have an idea what may be causing this?

The website in question is http://www.skattkammer.com/mayablog in case anyone wants to check, but I will continue to do my own testing (just so you know the site may be unstable).

Hi!

Sadly this issue can happen when using the "Browser Compatibility" plugin. This plugin usually takes care that transparent PNGs are displayed in the incapable Internet Explorer, but it can lead to distorted images if they don'T specific the "width" and "height" attributes.

HTH,

Thanks. I switched BC off, and that did the trick.

I guess I can live with non-transparent PNGs in IE as long as their size is correct :P
