colour images seen as B&W using IE – help

[silbercow]

I've built a site in Dreamweaver MX 2004, loosely based on one of the templates in DWMX and also editing some of the css.

In the left box (controlled by a css) on each page is a colour image which works fine when I view it on my Mac using IE, Firefox or Safari (uploaded onto the site). Yet on a PC that box always show the image as black and white.

I'm using Photoshop CSv1 and saving the image for web (jpg etc.). I think it must be the css but theirs nothing in their thats telling it anything different unless its an IE/css issue...

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

You have an unexpected CSS filter, in your mk_style.css file, which turns, only in IE, the image to black and white:

.leftnav {
width: 155px;
border-right-style: solid;
border-right-color: #CCCCCC;
border-right-width: 1px;
border-left-width: 1px;
border-left-style: solid;
border-left-color: #CCCCCC;
filter: Gray;
top: 20px;
}

Remove it.

I wonder why did you write that CSS filter? Or it was not you who wrote the code? :)

[silbercow]

It was a css filter from the template that I'd edited to suit. You you go to Edit css style, the option "filter; gray" does not appear, only opening the code to the filter itself was it visible.

It taught me a lesson, as half way through making the site (using a template, css style etc. that I hadn't created), I realised that when things went wrong, I didn't know where to look.

thanks again.
