Re: [WSG] repeating background png support ie6
Screenshots sent. Not sure how gracefully degrade. I think once when I used a translucent image it was an even colour and IE6 should simply degrade to display the colour solid. That worked fine for my use. Your case might be different though. - Original Message - From: kevin mcmonagle [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2008 5:06 PM Subject: [WSG] repeating background png support ie6 Hi, Whats the standards way to handle or degrade ie6 png support for a repeating background img? Im having problems solving this-ies4mac doesn't seem to do well with conditional comments and png hacks-so i cant tell whats working. Im thinking about putting the wrapper div with the repeating background image in two different stylesheets. One with a png for normal browsers and one with a gif for ie then i would just hide the png from ie6 and give it the gif one with conditional comments. Also if anyone can email me a screen shot from ie6 off list that would be great. beta page: http://www.arasgcc.com/indextest.html -thanks kevin *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
Re: [WSG] repeating background png support ie6
Instead of that, you could just use a CSS hack. Something like:
#background_div {
background-image: url(background.png);
}
* html #background_div {
background-image: url(background.gif);
}
The * html will make it so only only versions of IE will look at it
(IE6), while modern browsers remain unaffected. Also, I'm fairly
certain this will prevent the background.gif image from being loaded in
modern browsers, since it isn't needed.

Re: [WSG] repeating background png support ie6
Hey Kevin, I have the same problem with my ies4linux, so I just use an online tester. For quick checks of IE6/7 I use the netrenderer: http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/ and for more advanced checks use browsershots: http://browsershots.org/ Cheers, Tony kevin mcmonagle wrote: Hi, Whats the standards way to handle or degrade ie6 png support for a repeating background img?
