Login Page Display Problem in IE

[Nat Katin-Borland]

If you visit the KARL login page using IE, there is an ugly line down the center of the page (see screenshot). Everything looks fine in FF.

Thanks,
Nat

Robert, I think you noticed something about a missing gradient URL or something. Can you take this one?

[Robert Marianski (rmarianski)]

That happens in ie7 but not ie8.

It is indeed coming from the img#login-gradient element. I poked around a little bit, and it seems that just changing the width in ie7 causes it to add that white area around it. The strange part is that it works fine on the 404 page, but not the login page, and those 2 pages are similar. I'll keeping digging to see if I can find what's causing it.

By process of elimination, I was able to pinpoint to this ie specific style in karl_ie.css:
img {
    -ms-interpolation-mode:bicubic;
}

If I add an additional style to have it default back to the nearest-neighbor interpolation mode for the login gradient, then it seems to work properly.

I tracked down where the change came from through the commits: (6105 6068 5938 5917)
Commit message for 5917:
rounded styles for IE feeds (LP #612389)

I think it should be fine if I set it to nearest neighbor just for the login gradient, to be safe and not affect anything else.

Looks like Robert fixed this on Branch1. Thanks Robert!
