Only supported in IE 6 with a hack, kind of an ugly one too as it
renders the PNG's transparent area with a mid gray until it has
finished loading, I guess if it's on a small image it's ok.
I've had a lot of luck with PNG Behavior:

That is about the only reason to ever use the GIF any

And, as I mentioned, the fact that very old browsers don't know what a
PNG is...which is only an issue if you

Greetings all,
I wanted to see what people's comments were as to using .png's vs. .gifs
these days.
I have a design that will require those nice transparency effects only a
.png can provide if I want it to be just like the mockup. Do most
browsers support that yet, or do I have to go with

IE does not natively support 24
Additionally: you may be best off using a fallback mechanism, so that
browsers which are not capable of displaying 24 bit PNGs can still get
*something*. An idea (by no means the best around) is my little
experiment in PNG image replacement

Hi
I've had fairly good results using PNGs, however IE on Windows does
not support transparency in PNGs and usually replaces it with a grey
filler colour. A situation at work meant I simply had to use some
PNGs with transparency, and make them work in IE, which lead me to
PieNG
