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.

    work on all the browsers I use, but I’m wondering what everyone
    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?
