Hi Joshua: I haven't tried using just individual modules but when i use 
the whole thing I get the warning locally (very aggravating - and, of 
course, its an IE issue, nothing wrong with Edwards' stuff).  anyway, 
when its loaded on the web, i don't get the warnings - for me, and i 
assume, anyone else.



Can post example if desired...


i wonder if its different for individual modules though, somehow.  would 
like to see your example.

Just tried with Sleight (which, incidentally, I'd read about before
but forgotten existed!) and got the same security warning from
IE6/XPSP2. =( Any suggestions welcome at this point! (Except for using
GIFs/indexed transparency :P)

Aaron Boodman published "Sleight" a good while back. It has reportedly
been adapted for background images by Drew McLellan:

Josh asked: Alternatively, how does one go about getting alpha support for CSS
background images? Not having a great deal of luck with this...I could not get alpha support for CSS background images to work in IE. I tried pngbehaviour.htc ( 
http://webfx.eae.net/dhtml/pngbehavior/pngbehavior.html ) and various versions of Dean Edwards' IE7.Instead I use an alternative method.I use condional comments to feed IE6 and below an extra css which has 
#DivWithBackground {    background-image: none;    filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(enable=true, sizingMethod=scale, src='');
}Advatange you do not need _javascript_ or your server set up to serve .htc files as the correct mime type.You can find the method discussed in detail:

Josh,

According to the specs for DE-IE7, you can specify a specific module:




http://dean.edwards.name/IE7/usage/configure.html

Pick and mix as you want. The graphics JS file should just be the PNG fix.

[WSG] Dean Edwards IE7... just PNG support?

[Joshua Street]

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone's had any luck with using JUST the PNG
component of Dean Edwards' IE7 JavaScript? The full thing seems like
overkill, because that's the only feature I really need.
Alternatively, how does one go about getting alpha support for CSS
background images? Not having a great deal of luck with this...

Regards,
Josh
