[WSG] Background image not visible in ie
Good afternoon http://www.westernwebdesign.com.au/zoobridal/index.html IE is not showing the background image on #container. Have only just noticed this. Cannot find any reason for it to be so. I have a very similar site with a background image on #container and it has no problems in IE. Can anyone spot the problem? I would be most grateful.

Re: [WSG] Background image not visible in ie
Hi Lyn, I've tested it in IE7 and it works ok, but just isn't working in IE6 (it loads but is blue at one end rather than white). The reason for this is that you're using a transparent PNG which isn't supported on IE6 and below. There are tons of examples of this (and how to fix it) on this mailing list but I've put a link below which should get it working for you. http://thedesignspace.net/MT2archives/000103.html Cheers, Ben --- e: b...@bendodson.com w: http://bendodson.com/ Feeling social?

RE: [WSG] Test in Outlook 2007
Paul, Office 2007 uses the Word rendering engine which is quite a different beast from any browser, and even quite different to Outlook 2003 (which used the IE engine for rendering and Word for composing). You may find other tools like Campaign Monitor which run an instance and deliver the result, but I'd be very wary about trusting any arbitrarily created emulations.

RE: [WSG] Background image not visible in ie
The guys over at unit interactive also have a help script to help fix the issues with transparent PNG images in IE6. http://labs.unitinteractive.com/unitpngfix.php I highly recommend this script very handy and concise. The one problem I have noticed with it is that it doesn't respect background position on background images - everything goes to (0,0) . If this is ok, it is a great solution and can of course be applied via a conditional comment meaning no superfluous code for 'decent' browsers.

Re: [WSG] Background image not visible in ie
It does of course require JavaScript which isn't strictly necessary as you can get the same effect with just CSS (especially for the purposes of the example given initially). With regards to background image positioning, I'm fairly sure there is no way to stop it going to position (0,0) as that's how the Microsoft Filter works.

RE: [WSG] Background image not visible in ie
The only place I ran into a problem with the background position was using sprites for the menu on this site: http://thebrokenfamilyband.com I needed to use pixels for left and top values so didn't try 'center', maybe it would work. In the end I just used a conditional comment stylesheet to deliver IE6 a text only menu instead. The beauty of the script was not needing to set the filter on numerous elements as it searches for all PNGs and fixes them, but as mentioned it does require JavaScript as a small disadvantage. If you only want 1 or 2 PNGs then the filter is probably lighter.

[WSG] Login/password app?
I need an app that will prompt users for a login and password to view a certain page. I will need a different login/password combo for each user. I know that there is likely a simple solution to this, but I haven't needed anything like this before. Is there any easy PHP-based script to use? Basically, I would like a little form with a username and password field that when entered correctly will reveal or direct users to another page. Thanks in advance for your help!

Re: [WSG] Login/password app?
Hi Brooke, If you're looking for a lite solution and only have a handful of users, you could configure a .htaccess http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.htaccess file for authorization/authentication in Apache. This is done at a directory level. There should be plenty of tutorials out there if you google for .htaccess and .htpasswd.

Hi Brooke, I used .htaccess as a way to control this aspect as a simple solution before you find a more robust one as needed. I suggest trying it out and see what you think.

Re: [WSG] Background image not visible in ie
Thanks Ben, Phillip, James and Brett The guys over at unit interactive also have a help script to help fix the issues with transparent PNG images in IE6. http://labs.unitinteractive.com/unitpngfix.php I thought I would have a go at this one first - with the result that IE7 shows an index page with no CSS evident and no #header image (because it is positioned center center?) or #container background image, and in IE6 just a blank white page. I put the js file in the main file folder (the Lightbox js files are in a js folder, but I also tried putting this file in the js folder, too with no change in result), added script type=text/javascript src=unitpngfix.js in the head and also in the head I put the conditional comment. Also put the clear.gif image in the correct place: images/clear.gif.The js already had this path for the image. So where have I gone wrong? Just working on the computer ATM, have not uploaded any of this.
