Reliable PNG Transparency

[DamienDLSkinSolution]

It works with PNG 8 but not 24... which is a 1st step but far from great.

If anyone knows how to keep the transparency of a PNG 24 from the stylesheet.css, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Damien

This is working for the PNG images on the page, but not for the background images. Any way to fix this? Thanks.

In case anyone is getting the red cross error in IE, an easy fix is to upload the spacer.png file to every folder that contains PNG images. If you are using Image Handler, you'll also need to upload it into each one of the directories in the bmz_cache folder as well as all of your product image sub-directories. i.e. the large, medium, manufacturers, banners, etc. folders.

It means having around 30 or so copies of spacer.png on the server but it saves having to track down all the different places where relative and absolute links are being used to correct it.

I'm having trouble with this. I've applied the hack, but the images are just gone and are replaced by the transparent spager.png without the original image showing beneath:

http://backwards.lbdclients.com

The images are the shop and EZ-Pages sidebox headers and also three PNGs in a banner box below them. The source code looks like it should be right:

<h3 class="rightBoxHeading" id="ezpagesHeading"><img src="/includes/templates/custom/images/spacer.png" style="width: 178px; height: 28px; filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='/includes/templates/custom/images/backwards_info.png', sizingMethod=scale);" alt="info" /></h3>

I put the spacer.png file in includes/templates/custom/images and the replacePngTags.php in the root directory where the cart is installed. I added the code to the top of tpl_header.php and the bottom of tpl_footer.php. I must be doing something wrong, but I can't figure it out.

The images are PNG-24, but I don't think that should be a deal breaker for the hack.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
