The voices are telling me Kevin Futter said on 9/29/2004 6:19 PM:
My understanding is that while IE Win supports the display of PNG files, it doesn't support any of their transparency features. If you want to use transparency for images in a cross-browser safe way, GIF is really your only option. I wouldn't be holding my breath for IE to catch up either ...
Close. MSIE 6/Win supports GIF-style transparency (pallette mode, one color 100% transparent). What it doesn't support is variable or alpha-channel transparency.
I have a couple of examples and a few words about PNGs at <http://toolkit.crispen.org/formats/png.html>.
