PNG's transparency in IE (all versions)

[dragon2309]

So, anyone have a hack for viewing transparent PNG's in IE. There are several solutions but they are all designed on you actually embedding the image on the page in <img src> tags, the PNG's i need to hack are referenced by external CSS file, so are unaffected by these solutions.

Anyone found one or got one that works with images based on being referenced in by CSS...?

Cheers, dragon

I take it you've searched Google...? But no, I don't. Sorry mate.

yeh, google does come up with some, but they only govern <img> tags, im not using them, my images are all referenced in my CSS document, they aren't embedded in the HTML at all.

seems no one has bothered trying to create something to combat it this way before, im nowhere near bright enough to do anything like that. im sort of stuck

cheers rambo

I'm not a CSS expert, but I do know a few things about it. Is this of any use: http://bjorkoy.com/post/show/8 ?

Afraid not, I saw that one before, all that does is again control images embedded using the <img> tags through the use of your own CSS sheet, it doesnt actually control images ref'd by the CSS itself

cheers for looking though

Ok, Dave/dragon (whichever you'd prefer me to address you by ), I may have a fix.

How's that?

 

[dragon2309]

unfortunately I've tried that one aswell, that is just a javascript solution, where as the others used a CSS or HTC file method, none of them cover referenced images from a CSS document.

oh and dave or dragon i really don't mind
