Sorry for the above subject. My problem relates to using PNGs in IE. I've created a layout that uses both Adam Kalsey's excellent tabs (http://www.kalsey.com/tools/csstabs/) and the Man in Blue's footerStickAlt (http://www.themaninblue.com/experiment/footerStickAlt/). This all worked out fine. The problems started when I added a masthead across the top of the page. The graphic is a PNG. I naively assumed that I would be able to get this to work in Firefox, Safari, IE and Opera. Three outta four ain't bad, right?
I'm familiar with using Microsoft's AlphaImageLoader filter to get IE to support PNG transparency, and until recently I've had no problems with the technique. This time around my first problem was getting the filter applied to PNGs that are specified as backgrounds in the CSS. A few minutes of Googling and the problem was solved. The solution has its issues, but I've been able to work around those. Apparently, there is a bug in IE that causes links to not be clickable (or just not be there) when certain conditions are present. As I understand it, when a PNG is specified as a background in CSS with AlphaImageLoader filter applied AND that element is absolutely positioned, links in that element (or its children) will be messed up in IE 6 (and 5.5, I believe). Here's my example: http://groucho.tsl.state.tx.us/test/ Note that the CSS is in <style> part of the head. The only graphic is http://groucho.tsl.state.tx.us/test/masthead.png. The part of the masthead that is supposed to be a link is on the top right--the part that says "Texas State Library and Archives Commission". In Firefox, Safari and Opera you'll see a black box around this area. In IE you won't. I haven't been able to find a way to get the link to work without breaking the footerStickAlt layout. Does anyone know how I can get the link in the masthead to work? Thanks. -Rob [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
