PNG JavaScript hack for IE6

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 16.2008

Hello, I have searched a few PNG 32 fixes for IE6, some don’t work on CSS background images, others only on <img> tags, others won’t work on repeat background CSS images. Is there a PNG32 fix for IE6 that works on all PNG images that is effective, preferable javascript but if someone knows any others I’m open to it ?

@CentauriAug 17.2008 — Any png fix for IE6 relies on DirectX's AlphaImageLoader filter, and this [B]cannot[/B] cater for repeated or positioned background images at all. The problem with the javascript fixes is that they will target [B]ALL[/B] png images whether they use alpha transparency or not, which can lead to other problems. I prefer to keep the number of alpha transparent png images to a minimum and target each one individually through a conditionally linked style sheet for IE6. While ever IE6 has a reasonably large user base, it will continue to stifle the widespread use of png images.

@WhiteDragonauthorAug 17.2008 — I see what you mean, I suppose it is a better direction to target specific PNG though a seperate style sheet, do you know of any that work very well and and be used without much pain in a page ?

Success!
