The color of text is being altered by IE 7's gradient filters

I'm facing an issue with the CSS code applied to a button (along with other styles):

border: 1px solid #86A74B; border-top: 1px solid #B0C5B0;
background-color: #91B248;
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #9BBC52, #84A440);
background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear,left top,left bottom,color-stop(0, #9BBC52),color-stop(1, #84A440));
background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(#9BBC52, #84A440); /* Chrome 10+, Saf6 */
background-image: linear-gradient(top, #9BBC52, #84A440);
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorStr='#9BBC52', EndColorStr='#84A440'); /* IE6–IE9 */

Despite my attempts to remove text-shadow and specify a color, when viewing this button in IE7, the text is displayed using the dark background-color of the body element several layers back. I haven't been successful in resolving this issue.

Can anyone shed light on why IE 7 behaves this way and suggest a solution to consistently display the text in white on these buttons?

Answer №1

After facing a frustrating issue for over 5 hours, I finally stumbled upon a solution that worked wonders: Simply adding position: relative; zoom: 1; to the necessary elements resolved the problem with the gradient effect. It might not be the most elegant solution, but after hours of frustration, it did the trick.

Answer №2

This solution has been a game-changer for me. While others may not have encountered the same issue, I've been grappling with it for the past couple of days. It's incredibly frustrating when the text links lose their colors upon zooming in or out.

#menu li a{ position: relative; zoom: 1; }

Implementing this code snippet fixes that problem entirely. Grateful for the help!
