So, I've followed the instructions offered on several websites, and IE6 still is not showing my PNGs with transparency. I am not sure if it's because I am in a VM, or I'm doing something wrong, or what. I am still incredulous that Microsoft could be so stupid. Has anyone else had this issue ( that is, PNGs on a website and the online fixes don't seem to work )

well, if they don't want to install the plugin, then they get a garbagy looking UI

Yes, it's not always feasible, but it is 98% of the time. IE6 has to die, and if that requires drastic measures, so be it! Microsoft have stopped supporting IE6 on their own pages, so why should we care??? At least the average is FINALLY shifting past IE6. Thank heavens.

Hi Christian Have you tried PNG Behaviour from Erik Arvidsson? http://webfx.eae.net/dhtml/pngbehavior/pngbehavior.html[^] It works for me. Just copy some code to a file called pngbehaviour.htc, reference it in your .css file like this: img {behavior: url("pngbehavior.htc");} then ie6 can display .png images correctly John

Oh, man. I feel your pain there. Would you mind updating your post if you find a solution that works? IE6 is the new COBOL. It was the new hotness when it was dumped onto the market with Windows XP at the height of the dot-com boom. Nobody really develops new apps on it anymore, so it's mostly "dead". But it's not just a memory yet. Large companies built their entire infrastructure of custom applications on it over the course of a decade. IE5.x with its newfangled "DHTML" already had significant market share in the enterprise for a while before then. People were building apps on that, and IE6 promised compatibility with things built with IE5. Other browsers just couldn't compete with the system integration that was offered by IE at that time - ActiveX? I don't recall Netscape offering that. Hiring someone who knows IE6 is still a lot cheaper and faster than a total replacement of infrastructure that took ten years to build. So... it's not going to die soon enough... just keep fighting the good fight!

I believe IE6 was invented a long time before PNG's where. I'm sure someone will now say that he has been using PNG's before upgrading from IE5. If you have allowed IE6 to install the upgrades then it will support PNG's even if it has a transparent background. IE7, IE8, IE9 etc also support PNG's. If you use other browsers of that age. EG Netscape 4, you may also have problems using PNG's. You could use <IMG SRC=... ALT="If this image is not displayed on your browser you may wish to upgrade to one that is not over 10 years old.">

Screw IE6 - *IE8* even has issues with PNGs... this w/end I was making a simple html page that used JQuery's animate function - the png in question has some transparency in parts of the logo, and by simply doing a fade-in and move with .animate, the logo just looked like crappy black text. No other browser had this issue ... just IE... hell, even the iPad and Android 3.2's browser dealt with it just FINE. Luckily IE9 did work without munging the transparency in the logo, but it had other issues (regarding width) that IE8 also had. *sigh*
