show hide layer creates problem with fonts

Hi. I’m using the show/hide layer action (with the sequence timer) to fade in from one image to another. Everything looks fine in Safari, but I notice in Firefox Mac 3.03 the text looks bad – like a bad Flash pixel font. Changing the layer order doesn’t help either. This does not happen on the pages where I am not using this effect. I’m publishing xhtml 1.0 transitional. Would anyone happen to know of a fix for this … or is there another way to do the transition fade effect …
thank you.

Sure. Add this to your Page > HTML Markup > Before /head:

<style type="text/css">
    #PageDiv { opacity: 0.99 }
</style>

This is a known bug in Firefox.

Would you mind taking a look here and let me know if you see the fonts as I do? If the fonts can’t look good with the transitions, then it just took a whole lot of fun out of this.

This might have something to do with it:

When I checked the CSS for validation I received this error:
“Property opacity doesn’t exist in CSS level 2.1 but exists in [css3] : 0.99.”

Where would I change the settings from 2 to 3?

Try making the style property this:

-moz-opacity: 0.99;

That should be okay (and valid), and it will only target Mozilla based browsers like Firefox.

Hi Walter, Would that be…

Before

-moz-opacity: 0.99;

or

#PageDiv { -moz-opacity: 0.99; }

Take the style code I posted earlier, and substitute the word -moz-opacity for opacity. Make no other changes, and publish. See if that fixed it.

No go. With the code, or without it, the type stays yucky.
I even switched to a different effect: I tried the transition fx.
It had the same effect. With no transition the type looks good.
