Try 8 bit PNG's - Creating 8-bit Alpha Transparent PNG Files - cant find a better link to show you but they work fine for me for most of my requirements...
8 bit PNGs are good for some graphics, for more quality PNGs you would have to go 24 bit
I've done everything it says here but it wont, work, am i doing something wrong, heres what i have on the page:PNG in Windows IE
though you'll still probably need to hack any css you're got with pngs in them (assuming what you're on about is transparency) ?
<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<script language="JavaScript">
function correctPNG() // correctly handle PNG transparency in Win IE 5.5 & 6.
{
var arVersion = navigator.appVersion.split("MSIE")
var version = parseFloat(arVersion[1])
if ((version >= 5.5) && (document.body.filters))
{
for(var i=0; i<document.images.length; i++)
{
var img = document.images[i]
var imgName = img.src.toUpperCase()
if (imgName.substring(imgName.length-3, imgName.length) == "PNG")
{
var imgID = (img.id) ? "id=\'" + img.id + "\' " : ""
var imgClass = (img.className) ? "class=\'" + img.className + "\' " : ""
var imgTitle = (img.title) ? "title=\'" + img.title + "\' " : "title=\'" + img.alt + "\' "
var imgStyle = "display:inline-block;" + img.style.cssText
if (img.align == "left") imgStyle = "float:left;" + imgStyle
if (img.align == "right") imgStyle = "float:right;" + imgStyle
if (img.parentElement.href) imgStyle = "cursor:hand;" + imgStyle
var strNewHTML = "<span " + imgID + imgClass + imgTitle
