I hope I'm not bending/breaking the purpose of the list but wanted
opinions on best practices for preparing images for use on web pages
where there are color backgrounds, and the image must have some of
that background color in them.
Example: you want to place an image with a drop shadow,
.png with alpha channel is the best way to go.
IE6 and lower can't handle the alpha channel and make the transparent
background gray.
Based on my site audience I'll make fallback .gif replacements for the
.png images (that look crappier but are at least transparent)
You can also make 8 bit
.png with alpha channel is the best way to go.
IE6 and lower can't handle the alpha channel and make the
transparent background gray.
Can be conditionally fixed with js, for example:
http://www.dillerdesign.com/experiment/DD_belatedPNG/
Based on my site audience I'll make fallback .gif
Good point on the javascript repairs (there are a couple techniques of
fixing .png support in IE6)
Trouble with this method is it can cause other troubles (like links over
.png backgrounds etc) so be careful.
It all depends on what you're trying to do.

Hi James,

Exactly what Tony said regarding width and height, they're beneficial. Lose

Hi Fausto,
To cut things short:
there is nothing wrong with images used as background via CSS as long
as theses images are used as layout and not to give meaningful pieces
of information to the visitors.
You may end up confusing people who use text-only or speech devices.
