The linked article at http://blogs.cozi.com/tech/2008/03/transparent-png.html?cid=106552420 is especially scary - AlphaImageLoader causing browser crashes? Ow. And those guys had direct contacts inside Microsoft.
I'm not completely sure of the benefit of using png8 over using png32 for all browsers, and using gifs for ie6 and below. It is a tad more work to do ie6-specific style sheets and ie6-specific images; but presumably the png32 images will look nicer for all other users. YMMV of course. - Korny On Wed, Jun 11, 2008 at 4:11 PM, David Hucklesby <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Tue, 10 Jun 2008 13:49:43 +0100, Stewart Griffiths wrote: >> >> However, within Fireworks you can also export png's as a png8, which >> provides a palette >> based colour model (like gif's) and which many believe only offers a 1 bit >> transparency >> option.
