Guest digestive Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Hi all, Could someone be so kind as to let me know how you get transparent png's or gifs backgrounds. I have done a site on a local drive with IE7 it has pngs with transparent backgrounds but when I check it in IE6 the backgrounds of the png's are not transparent. I understand that IE6 does not support it the same way as IE7 but there must be a way as I have seen sites on IE6 with transparent backgrounds. Thanks for any help you are willing to give to a newbie. The pics can be any format as long as they are transparent backrounds in IE6 Digestive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both work very nicely and require very little extra coding to get them running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinetic Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 heres what I use to fix transparency in pngs when users visit using IE6 http://homepage.ntlworld.com/bobosola/pnghowto.htm gifs have no problems in IE 6 pngs have no troubles in IE 7 so visit this site and gave a gander this only works if the image (a png) has a width and height defined in the img src no joy for css backgrounds that are pngs unless you use the css class for transparency and that is a totally different animal...
