Oh yes....

I have Javascript code which when embedded within a page, permits IE to
display PNGs with transparency.
What would be the best way to include this javascript within the Tobago
application, so that tag files and jsp pages could display transparent
pngs in IE? Alternately, how would I include the script in a particular
tag file to display transparent pngs?

I tried just doing a <f:verbatim> wrapped <script at the beginning of
the tag file, but that didn't work.

Thanks,
John

Philippe Hennes commented on TOBAGO-69:
---------------------------------------

There is a bug regarding png images in IE. IE ist not capable of
displaying 8bit png's with alpha transparency without an proprietary
filter [1]. 
As a workaround you can use 24bit png images or gif's.

Alternativly you can change the grey background by assigning a new
background color:
Photoshop: Just select the mask color option, and set the color picker
to the color of the background the picture is intended to sit on.
Gimp: In Gimp you can check "save background color" in the png export
dialog.
