It appears that IE8 is not rendering properly
a local file:
Consider this simple webpage: http://sayang.free.fr/ie8render.html (html code below) extracted from
a w3c tutorial on opacity.
Save it locally and display it again: the local file has no opacity!
That's very annoying, especially when one wants to design complex pages on prototypes placed in local files.
Do you have
a solution to that ?
