[jQuery] FF2/Mac Text Dimming issue => a solution!


Hey There
I recently starting working on a Mac using FF2 as my browser of
choice. After a short period I noticed the infuriating text dimming
FF2/Mac opacity bug. Thanks to the support from this group, I found
that by by adding -moz-opacity:.999 to the body would fix this issue,
but recently Joel Birsh pointed out this fix causes issues with FF3.
He found an elegant solution to this:
if ($.browser.mozilla && parseFloat($.browser.version) < 1.9 &&
navigator.appVersion.indexOf('Mac') !== -1) $('body').css('-moz-
opacity',.999);
I see sites daily that experience the same issue because the
developers are obviously unaware of the issue, as I was until I
started working on a mac. So, why not include the above as part of the
core jQuery package to once and for all sort his issue out?
