Re: [WSG] PNG - how cross-browser standard reliable?
Yes you can use the IE6 PNG filter.
However note that IE6 implementations before the service packs will not
support this either.
And yes there are major installations of IE6 on these older subversions
of IE6. This used to trip me up all the time. To the point that I no
longer bother, just replacing the PNG in IE6 with the GIF. All park of
the not for perfect experience for IE6 users.

Only if they are PNGs with alpha transparencies - these are not
supported in IE6 amongst others (although there are hacks). If it's
just a straightforward image, then PNG will be absolutely fine.

Re: [WSG] PNG - how cross-browser standard reliable?
I’m looking at a whole bunch of icons to use in a new app I’m building, and rather than convert them all to gifs, I was thinking of leaving them as the .png format they are now.They work on all the browsers I use, but I’m wondering what everyone else’s experience has been of using .pngs in web pages. Hi. You may freely use .png in your work. Only browser, which can't work with .png — ie6. But using conditional comments you may create separate stile sheet and using filter handle it. Last time I tried using a png, I found it worked ok in some browsers and not in others. Is this still a relevant issue? Exactly, what browser cause problems? *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***

As others confirm, only IE 6 has problems with PNG files. Even IE 6 can be accommodated if you use 8-bit PNG.
