Hi,

I'm trying to display transparent pngs in IE - ive tried the javascript fix, ive tried the CSS fix, ive tried the DHTML fix - all of them work

BUT

While the page is loading one of the above solutions the images remain grey until the script is executed. I read somewhere that you can edit pngs in a graphics program so that the code itself to make the pngs work in IE is contained within the graphic, but I cant find the information again (forgot to bookmark it!)

any help would be appreciated

only used the alpha image filter in a IE-only css file. it always worked...

something like this

<!--[if IE]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="assets/ieStyleCorrect.css"/>
<![endif]-->

/* CSS Document */

a#logo {
background-image: none;
filter:
progidXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader (src=images/logo.png,
sizingMethod='scale'
cursor:hand;
}

do you have a working example of this? i'm pretty sure it would still make the image flash with the grey area before showing it as being transparent

Take it into Photoshop & try exporting as an 8 bit PNG. We had success with this method.

8 bit png's don't support full transparency though do they. Aren't they one colour transparency like gifs?
