Hi Guys,

I know Javascript can be used to manipulate browsers to a certain extent, but is it possible to force cleartype off in IE7 when a visitor views my site using javascript?

I basically want to run a browser detect script, and if it comes back as anything but IE7 it will do nothing, but if IE7 is detected it prevents text from being cleartype'd.

I have had a hunt about and Google'd for a while but the best I can see are scripts that play about with anti aliasing, but this is not really what I need, is it?

I really do despise cleartype, it totally messes up my layouts and I dont really want to have to make two versions of my site, one for IE7 users that displays correctly and another for everyone else.

Or is there something I can do with my css files to tell IE7 to quit mucking around with my site?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Chris

Actually, not to worry. I just found this (when I mentioned CSS in my original post something clicked with me!!!):

from http://www.duluoz.com/?p=12

Code:

filter:alpha(opacity=100);
opacity: 1.0;
background-color: white;

Hopefully this will be of use to others though
