Hi Kuasar,
Without a link to a (test) problem page it's not good possible to make a
100% analysis, but I've some suggestions.
Did you try the same with a gif- or jpg-image, and did that show in IE
or didn't it? - I'm quite sure IE is showing that, as there are no
problems with the img-link (for FF is displaying the img).
And when you place the img directly in the html instead of as a
background-img, what does IE do? I suppose nothing again...
I should guess the reason is the png-character: IE has issues with
proper displaying (semi-transparent) png's. There are different hacks to
solve them. With a quick search I didn't find something in the css-WIKI,
but as a start: an IE-working example is in this testpage
<http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/designhulp/ie_png_hack.htm> -
in Dutch, but the most link aren't. ;-)
More about? Google has lots of pages
<http://www.google.nl/search?hl=nl&q=png-hack&btnG=Zoeken&meta=> about
this theme.
And maybe there is a workaround with using a gif instead of a png,
dependent of the needs of the page. - I found: there can be possible
more then at first sight (testpage
<http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/transparent_gif_test.htm>,
scroll left-right to see the effect; and compare with the gif in the
linked page over there).
Hope this can help,
Greetings,
francky
