*.png IE correction?

[freebe]

I was wondering if there is a correction/hack for the way IE handle png images. Firefox handles these type images fine. I was using this image for my logo.png. Thanks for any suggestion.

Easiest to convert to either gif or jpg

Ignore kobra and stick with pngs!



Use the png fix javascript:

And put this in your header:
<!--[if lt IE 7.]>
<script defer type="text/javascript" src="PATH/TO/pngfix.js"></script>
<![endif]-->

bigbadboy,

Have you got a Love Affair with .png's?

For IE - a patch here and a patch there - - When is Gates gonna wake up?

PNGs are the only real way to use transparency across board.
Unfortunatley M$ don't care about such things.

Share where a trans gif is not equivalent? Please...

Thanks for taking the time to answer a question I should have just googled to find the answer.

Well...I discovered if you make an image that is a solid color but semi transparent, png's (specifically png-24) will show the transpareny correctly, but gifs make it jagged, pixelized, and two toned. FF will show the image correctly, while IE will show it as an opaque solid color.

Never thought there would be a need for a semi transparent background color that couldn't be achieved with CSS, but apparently there is

I have a need for exactly this fix and I came across this wonderful tip but I am somewhat confused as to where I should put the above: That is, the header of which file?

Specifically, I would like to make this javascript fix work in /includes/languages/english/<template>/header.php but that is a PHP file, with defines only, not an HTML file... How do I find the HTML file that is responsible for this one?

Thanks,
Daniel
