Hi Dietrich,
thank you, I think you saved the day. Although I hesitate to believe it,
after several tests, my IE6 is still alive and kicking, as long as I
replace the table's images with texts (DefaultDataCellRenderer).
Therefore my theory about the remote table model seems obsolete - only
coincidence, as that table did never contain images.
That PNG code is interesting (admittedly ugly though), but my inline
images were GIF, as I knew about IE's PNG intolerance.
I made a comment to bugzilla.
