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":
http://webfx.eae.net/dhtml/pngbehavior/pngbehavior.html
It's an .htc, which you may have to configure your server to deliver
properly. You assign the behavior to the img elements via your CSS
rules. Handles src changes to/from other pngs or non-pngs. (This only
works with actual img tags; if you want to affect pngs as your
background-image, then you should apply the filter directly in your
CSS, and my advice is to make the image the same size as the
container it's backgrounding.)
I've hacked this a bit, so that the img is visibility:hidden; until
the htc loads/runs, avoiding the ghostly gray-background issues. The
trick is that you must only do this if JS is running, otherwise you
might wind up with a site with no images. (The hack is testing right
now -- NRFPT.)
