How to make a Google Maps semi-transparent PNG tile layer work in IE8?

by

It’s definitely a well-known bug – see here, here, and here. Just to throw a few links:

  • This blog offers a workaround using a IE specific technique.
  • This blog has a lenghty explanation for the workaround.

And then there’s this addressing a probably different bug in an early release of IE8. He got it solved by enlarging the image – maybe worth a try if you’re working with a 1×1 image.

Maybe you can work around this by using different pngs with different opacities, and no CSS opacity?
