Images in IE

[redblue4356]

Hi,
another one
So.......I have *.png images in layers. They appear fine in opera but not in
internet explorer. The images have a transparent background but in IE, the
background appears kinda white (and the problem is that my background is dark
colored). I am having many problems with internet explorer. I mean many things
are shown different in internet explorer from opera. But I would like to solve
this problem first.
Hope someone can help.

IE 6 doesn't support full alpha channel opacity in PNGs (although apparently
the next version of IE will). What you can do instead is use a proprietary
IE filter to display the image.

So you have,

<img src='spacer.gif'
style='filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Al phaImageLoader(src="your_i
mage.png")' />

You can add another CSS class, etc to the tag, with the width and height of
the image. The problem now is that this only works when you have a blank
(transparent) GIF in place of the image source, which means other browsers
won't display anything at all, just a blank space (albeit of te right shape
and size). The answer is to find a browser detection script somewhere and
let that choose which method to use to display your PNGs.

It's a pain, but usually well worth it if you're making full use of PNG's
benefits over GIFs and JPEGs.

are those emoticons a part of the code and parsed by mistake or did u intentionally put them.

They must have been parsed by mistake. Code doesn't generally have emoticons
in it! ;)
