    Do PNGs support transparency? Is the image simple enough that transparency is even an option? Jon Sagara When I grow up, I'm changing my name to Joe Kickass! My Site | My Blog | My Articles

    Yeah, but IE's support for PNG transparency is broken too... :rolleyes:

        IE6 DOES Support Alpha channels but only on 256 color pallet PNGS. (so it renders like a Transparent GIF) You can use Paint Shop Pro, PhotoShop and even FireWorks to take care of this. There is also a work around by forceing IE to use DirectX in order to render the PNG image in 24-Bit: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/bobosola/[^] Other then that.. wait for IE7. =) -== The PogoWolf ==- "The Devil is a loser, and he's my bitch" - Mr. Lordi http://www.pogowolf.com GamersVue: http://GamersVue.blogger.com

          I find an acceptable color for the baclkground of a web page. I come up with (png) images that have backgrounds that are same as the page's background color. I load up a test page in Firefox. Everything is eactly what I was expecting. I load up the page in IE, and the colors no longer match (page background is darker than image background). WTF is that all about, and how might I fix it?

          The simple answer is to use jpg instead on png... It still pisses me off....

            IE has a famous bug[^] with PNG images. This has been fixed with IE7.

            People who don't understand how awesome Firefox is have never used CPhog[^]CPhog. The act of using CPhog (Firefox)[^] alone doesn't make Firefox cool. It opens your eyes to the possibilities and then you start looking for other things like CPhog (Firefox)[^] and your eyes are suddenly open to all sorts of useful things all through Firefox. - (Self Quote)

                        I turn compression off, but Paintshop Pro has a really good optimizer, so my images are about 50-60% smaller than they would be if I had simply turned compression off and not used the optimizer.

                          That's another way to put it... I prefer calling people names and suggesting they have other-than-optimal parental heritage...
