Not yet: the CSS has an error in the first h2-styles, which is disturbing all the rest of the page: the page cannot bee seen ... To see what the images are, we have to dive in the css, and call them separatedly... So for the next time: please deliver the material as good as possible, and let the helping hands not have to invest their time in solving puzzles! This said, we can go on. >In IE6 for PC, though, the colours >are showing up for some reason darker. The tiled version is a .gif and >the floating image version is a .png.

With FF and IE both on my pc: testing time! I could take 2 times a screenshot of the bgwarp.png and pasted them together in a painting program. I mirrored one to make it clear, and pasted in both "the bg.gif with the same colours". The result is this <http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/images/png-colors_in-FF-IE.gif>. *Indeed there is a difference*: compared with the bg.gif, Firefox is performing good (as expected). But *IE is shifting the hue and giving less brightness in png's*. Then the png directly downloaded, opened in paint program, and compared. Same result: IE is showing an image with slightly different colours. Will IE7 be better? - Another one for the ToDo-list of the MS-IE-team! Conclusions: 1. As long as you have an isolated png, nobody will remark a difference between the IE-performance and the real thing. 2. If you need to connect a png and a gif (or jpg) as one image, IE can give a problem. 3. In your case there is no problem: the png has only 128 colours, and can be saved as a 256 color gif before uploading! :-) >Also, would anyone be able to suggest how to best stretch a div, or any >element, the entire width of a page and be elastic?
