You can't do anything about versions of IE below 5.5.

I changed the title 'cause that "ping fix" confused the heck outta me!

The link MikeH provided is a really good png fix for IE6 ...

I tried it a while ago and it didn't work for me.
Now I just don't use transparency when possible!

microsoft seems to have posted a solution for IE 6 png files.

I however, believe it to be some sort of MS in house joke.

Not at all.

All PNG fixes use that method, although they differ in their details.

[welshstew]

so

Code: Select all

position:absolute; left:140px; height:400; width:400;
     filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(
     src='image.png', sizingMethod='scale');

would pass validation??

Not trying to be rude, generally interested.

I've tried to run it through the validator with no success.

[MikeHopley]

Obviously it won't pass validation. It's a pile of Microsoft crud. But that's completely irrelevant.

When you need to hack for IE, validation should be the last thing on your mind. Be as dirty as you like, as long as you don't let other browsers see your invalid code.

Ask yourself this: why do you make valid code in the first place?

Use the link I gave you. It works; but put some effort into it yourself. You need to read the information given with the fix, not just download it and expect everything to work automatically.
