PNGs in IE6

[GN85]

Anyone have experience with making the transparency of PNG images work when applied as a background in IE6? Looked everywhere on the net, and it seems like there's no solution.

There is no solution. Use a .gif or deal with the terrible gray instead of transparency. Sad but true.

That was not the answer (neither was the one before yours ), but I did finally find the answer.

Not perfect, cause IE7 will load 2 background images, but that can be fixed.
V00t for me wasting a whole day with this crap lol.

I stand corrected. I was assuming you were looking for a fix that allowed it in straight html

Hmm, but did you notice that the link you gave also has a link to the page i provided, in the bullet: "Update: Here is probably the easiest way. You can stop reading this page now."??

Personally I find the one I gave to be quite elegant

Also just an FYI, PNG COLOR is different in IE than other browsers as well....

I was using some PNG's on a site because they were loss-less and looked better than the gifs/jpgs, but then my BG color didn't match up in IE, so I was forced to use jpg/gifs for stuff =\

You can do some searching for more info about it, just wanted to let you know to check it when you are finished

Use GIFs, they aren't proprietary any more.

You should only be using web safe colors anyway

I hope that wink was because you understand that's a myth.
