Even that site resource advise's to use the htc approach. I use this on a number of website and it works really well. I attach it to a style sheet for IE6 or below that way my CSS still passes validation.

I know it's a rather old thread but I just came across a nice solution which does not even need an "iepngfix.htc" Javascript. One template I work on required a semitransparent background. I have it working nicely cross-browser (FF, IE6, IE7) with the following: CSS: .className {background:transparent url('img/707070_90pc.png') repeat 0 0} /* The 'pc' indicates the opacity, 90% here */ * html .className {background:none;filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoad er(enabled=true, sizingMethod=scale, src='css/skin-travel/img/707070_90pc.png')} The first line if for standards-compliant browsers, the second one for IE6 only. Image: You'll also need the PNG image. Here's the magic: Usually a PNG image used with the proprietary filter overlays any links and renders them unclickable. But I found a website [1] which offers a fix: You have to use a certain image size, then IE6 allows clickable links. So I made the PNG just 10x2 pixels (wXh). That's it. The site's not live yet, so I cannot offer a link.
