Didn't I say that? "IE ... provided poor support for PNG up until (I think) one of the point versions of IE4."

IE has a fair proportion of the browser market cornered and provided poor support for PNG up until (I think) one of the point versions of IE4. The trouble, if I remember correctly, was to do with the treatment of transparency. Other browsers - in particular open source browsers - have had good support for PNG for longer than IE. This is probably due to the fact that PNG is an open alternative to GIF. As far as I know, all major and most minor browsers now have excellent support for PNG. Most authoring tools and image manipulation tools have support, too - although the out of the box windows tools don't. All that is left is for graphics libs to catch up. When last I looked (over a year ago) java had no support for PNG in its Java2D libs. If we are talking about using PNG for the James web site, I'm all for it. PNG can do stuff that GIF can't (such as transparency) and is free - unlike GIF. Cheers ADK Noel J.
