Transparent PNG's in IE6

Asked by CreativewithTechnology in Extensible HTML (XHTML), Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)

Tags:

I've done some research on this issue this morning, and so far I can't find a solution.

I have a number of DIV's, LI's, and links with background images set, as well as repeat and the background position. As we all know, IE6 doesn't like transparent PNG's, so I've tried numerous fixes such as the .htc file fix, and a javascript pngfix.js, neither of which resolve the problem.

I have a number of problems, especially with the.htc fix;
Firstly, I have hidden navigation on the left of the site, where the DIV's visibility is set to 'none' until the user wants it to be visible. When I implement the .htc fix, the <li>'s within the hidden DIV suddenly become visible and appear over the top of everything else.

The other issue, is that using the .htc fix seems to remove the repeat and position from the background of DIV's etc, meaning the whole layout of the site is completely knackered.

My initial investigations lead me to believe that there isn't actually a solution to this problem, other than removing the background image of the page when IE6 is the browser, this way, the transparent PNG's are no longer needed. Then we can let IE7 operate as normal. I've found various fixes, but not that respect the repeat and position options on backgrounds.

Is there a solution, or do I need to look at modifying the site to cope with this issue?Start Free Trial
