AlphaImageLoader – scaling width/height to 20px

Hi everybody!

I am using

[CODE]filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src=’bullet.png’, sizingMethod=’scale’)[/CODE]

to enable PNG transparency for the image in IE6.

It works fine, but when using scaling, images that are originally smaller than 20 pixels wide or high, are always scaled up to at least 20px wide or high.

In other words, if I have an image of 10×10 pixels and I want to stretch it to 100×10, the width will correctly scale to 100px, but the height pops up to 20px.

Why is this? Pls. download the Zip and take a peek. I need this for creating stylishly cool rounded rectangles with drop shadows for a clients website I am building.

Thanks for the help in advance. ?

A snippet from the Zip:

[CODE] span{
/*background-color: yellow; /* Yellow so we can see the extent of the span */
display: inline-block;
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src=’bullet.png’, sizingMethod=’scale’);
height: 10px;
width: 50px;
}[/CODE]
