Re: [WSG] PNG - how cross-browser standard reliable?
Yes you can use the IE6 PNG filter.
However note that IE6 implementations before the service packs will not
support this either.
And yes there are major installations of IE6 on these older subversions
of IE6. This used to trip me up all the time. To the point that I no
longer bother, just replacing the PNG in IE6 with the GIF. All park of
the not for perfect experience for IE6 users.

Hi Mike,
A simple solution for IE6 PNG support is
_*HTML Code:*_
div class=iePng_logo id=ieBg img src=images/logo_png.png
class=ieHide //div
_*CSS Code:*_
.iePng_logo
{filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='images/logo_png.png',sizingMethod='scale');
width:307px; height:34px;}
.iePng
{filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='images/screenshot.png',sizingMethod='scale');
width:438px; height:230px;}
.ieHide {border:0 solid #fff; _display:none;}
#ieBg {border:0;}
You can check its working demo from the following URL, Check top left
logo in all browsers its transparent PNG, you can save it and check
its transparency

Only if they are PNGs with alpha transparencies - these are not
supported in IE6 amongst others (although there are hacks). If it's
just a straightforward image, then PNG will be absolutely fine.

else’s experience has been of using .pngs in web pages.
Last time I tried using a png, I found it worked ok in some
browsers and not in others. Is this still a relevant issue?

[WSG] IE6 support [was: PNG - how cross-browser standard reliable?]
Yes you can use the IE6 PNG filter. However note that IE6 implementations before the service packs will not support this either. And yes there are major installations of IE6 on these older subversions of IE6. This used to trip me up all the time. To the point that I no longer bother, just replacing the PNG in IE6 with the GIF. All park of the not for perfect experience for IE6 users. One of the main (only?) arguments for supporting IE6, is to provide a somewhat decent experience for corporate users who dont have the luxury of upgrading the browser. The argument against the upgrade is that corporate web-tools will fail after the upgrade; then using an argument that those tools cant be rewritten as the company doesn't have coders on staff. This argument is circular, either a) the company has the coders available to create the IE6-specific tool and thus can upgrade the tool to use a later version of the browser, or b) they dont have coders and thus they couldn't have developed the IE6-specific product. My $0.02... dont stress about backwards compatibility for IE6... it the site needs IE6 support, do that work last - you can then at least get paid for it. cheers, Mathew Robertson *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***

Or, they had access to coders who provided them only binaries without source code, and those coders are no longer available, with the result that the custom application would have to be rewritten from scratch by other coders to work properly with other browsers.

Re: [WSG] Firefox Ignoring Stylesheets
The following reply is from a forum where the problem was posted: After not being able to get this out of my head, I reproduced the page and put it up here; http://six03.com/lab/guardian After validating the page and placing the scripts in one js folder, it works. I think it was either the double quote at the end of the div (an error fixed by validating the page), the scripts not being current Question or the validation part, it appears to be okay now. I'll have to pinpoint the problem and see what was up. EDIT: I think it is a problem with the scripts. they're not all there (see source code for scripts) One even points to a 404. The invalid code makes no difference.

Re: [WSG] Firefox Ignoring Stylesheets
http://www.markboulton.co.uk/examples/guardian/ Your problem is neither markup-related nor script-related. It definitely stems from the wrong media type of the Style Sheets, as others have already pointed out. Test it yourself: http://cgi.w3.org/cgi-bin/headers?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.markboulton.co.uk%2Fexamples%2Fguardian%2Fcss%2Fscreen.css The media type is text/html instead of text/css Cheers, jens -- Jens Brueckmann http://www.yalf.de *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***
