Instead of that, you could just use a CSS hack. Something like:
#background_div {
background-image: url(background.png);
}
* html #background_div {
background-image: url(background.gif);
}
The * html will make it so only only versions of IE will look at it
(<IE6), while modern browsers remain unaffected. Also, I'm fairly
certain this will prevent the background.gif image from being loaded in
modern browsers, since it isn't needed.

Hi,
Whats the standards way to handle or degrade ie6 png support for a
repeating background img?
Im having problems solving this-ies4mac doesn't seem to do well with
conditional comments and png hacks-so i cant tell whats working.
Im thinking about putting the wrapper div with the repeating
background image in two different stylesheets. One with a png for
normal browsers and one with a gif for ie then i would just hide the
png from ie6 and give it the gif one with conditional comments.
Also if anyone can email me a screen shot from ie6 off list that would
be great.
