Sass mixin for background transparency back to IE8

Question

I\'m new to Sass and struggling with this. I can\'t get the color to render in both hex (for IE) and rgba. Every little piece is frustrating me becau

Answer 1

I think I encountered a similar problem when I wanted to pass a url to the mixin. Instead of sending only the url I had the send the whole url parameter as a parameter to the mixin. If you understand what I mean?

example:

@mixin bg($url)
  background: #000 $url repeat-x

insted of:

@mixin bg($url)
  background: #000 url($url) repeat-x

Also, this might not the suited for your application, but I usually work around that problem using opacity:

@mixin transparent_bg($hex, $a){
  /* for IEGR8 */
  filter:alpha(opacity=$a)
  zoom: 1;

  /* for modern browsers */
  background-color: $hex;
  opacity: ($a*10)
}
