??? I would think in my example there is no visible difference: gif as good as the png. With my eyes (perhaps I need better ones ;-) ): even in resolution 640x480 on my 17in monitor I don't remark any disturbing difference in quality. [1] So I made another more comparing testpage: http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/test-rturn-gif.htm Still don't see a "positively horrible gif"... [2] Greetings, francky [1] To avoid the grey background in IE, it is needed to add to the IE hack that there must be no background image. Otherwise you get the img two times: once as background-img (still with the grey) and the filtered one on top of it. That is the same as without the filter! [2] To make the transsparent gif, you need a reasonable paint program and a bit experimenting - I used Paint Sho Pro. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
