The only place I ran into a problem with the background position was using sprites for the menu on this site: http://thebrokenfamilyband.com I needed to use pixels for left and top values so didn't try 'center', maybe it would work. In the end I just used a conditional comment stylesheet to deliver IE6 a text only menu instead. The beauty of the script was not needing to set the filter on numerous elements as it searches for all PNGs and fixes them, but as mentioned it does require JavaScript as a small disadvantage. If you only want 1 or 2 PNGs then the filter is probably lighter. J

With regards to background image positioning, I'm fairly sure there is no way to stop it going to position (0,0) as that's how the Microsoft Filter works.

The one problem I have noticed with it is that it doesn't respect background position on background images - everything goes to (0,0) . If this is ok, it is a great solution and can of course be applied via a conditional comment meaning no superfluous code for 'decent' browsers.
