You could also adapt

    www.polyarc.us/radar

to do it.

It uses transparent GIFs but it could use transparent PNGs with the
following simple change:

    if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
    {
        e.src="whatever";
    }

    else // IE6
    {
 
e.style.filter="progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader
(src='whatever',sizingMethod='scale')";
    }

. . .
