With a little bit of use of the propriety DXImageTransform filter you can get by using alpha transparent PNGs in IE6 fairly safely.
There is some strange behaviour when using the in repeating background images and with links on them, however both can be fixed (there are various articles out there on the net on how to do this) IE7 has native support for them so I'm starting to utilise them more while still providing backwards compatibility by using the filter hack above. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of twe melb Sent: Wednesday, 11 April 2007 2:06 PM To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: Re: [WSG] colour matching transparent png files As far as i know png alpha transparency does not work well in IE 5.5 and 6, it seems to only works in firefox, JavaScript must be use to fix this problem. check out this site, it might be of help to you http://homepage.ntlworld.com/bobosola/pnghowto.htm, i tend to avoid the use of png as it is not cross browser compatible, i uses gif instead. regard, Tan Le On 4/11/07, dwain <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On Tuesday 10 April 2007 22:13, Andrew Harris wrote: > I specify the page background to #003366 > In photoshop I specify the starting blue of the vignette to #003366 > I also create a 20px square of #003366, set the opacity to 50% and > save out a png24 with transparency save it to a png8 and you should be ok. -- Dwain Alford P.O.
