After many months of searching we have finally found the ultimate solution to the perennial problem of Internet Explorer 6 not supporting Alpha Transparent PNG images. Initially posted at http://bjorkoy.com/ the method involves using a .htc hack to script IE6's behaviour, and adding the following line to your css:
img {
behavior: url(iepngfix.htc);
}
What makes this method so much better is that this PNG fix also works on css background images (as well as the standard <img> tags). To download the full code please go to www.twinhelix.com/css/iepngfix/. Hats off to Mr Turnbull for his sterling work!
PNG fixes and Google Maps
Further to my initial post here about the definitive IE PNG fix we have discovered a potential pitfall.
Internet Explorer fails to render the Google Map when you use the PNG Fix in the "wrong" way.
