| Best fix is not to use a .png 24bit image Yeah I played around with PNGFIX's but didn't have too much luck. Being stuck on Vista didn't help as I couldn't test IE6 easily. In the end I opted to avoid PNG with 24bit Alpha transparency and went for standard PNG 8 - BIT I think. I did some reading and it appears a small percentage of users will crash with a PNG FIX. Given that IE6 holds a large market share in Ireland still. I'd say its probably not the best idea to use a PNG fix if you can avoid it. Cheers, Gavin.

| This is by far the best: IE PNG Fix - TwinHelix It gives almost full support for transparent png's on IE6 (apart from a couple of small limitation) and easy to install too. Rgds, Dave

| Dave, Thanks for you help. I have tried to set this up but when I check the images on IE6 the issue is still occuring. Maybe I missed something. All I do is place the blank.gif and iepngfix.htc in a folder and tag images like such in the stylesheet: * { behavior: url(iepngfix.htc); } Have I missed something?       |

| make sure you've got the latest version of it installed .. as you might just find its actually fine (there is a registry entry that isn't set by the earlier version of that which causes pngs to display incorrectly even though you're applying hacks)       |
