DaveLinger Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 so here's the deal. I'm working on the upper "navigation" table cell for a website. Here's basically what I'm looking for:Logo against the left side, then a "filler" image (used to stretch all the way across to the other side), all sitting on top of the background image of that cell. Right now I have the logo and filler image done and in png format, and the transparency looks beautiful in firefox, but not IE, it just shows grey instead. Guh, here's some code...[code]<html><head><title></title><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css"></head><body><table width="100%" border="1"><tr><td width="100%" colspan="2" style="background-image: url(images/test.jpg)" class="header"><p align="left"><img src="images/corner.png"><img src="images/cornerstretch.png" width="99%" height="144"></p></td></tr><tr><td width="20%">Navigation</td><td width="80%">Body</td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" width="100%"><p align="center">All content is copyright Wade Linger. <a href="mailto:dave.linger@gmail.com">Contact the webmaster</a></p></td></tr></table></body></html>[/code](the style tag needs to be inside the page for the background, as it will be dynamically chosen by php in the final version)CSS:[code]body { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; margin: 0px;}table { border-collapse: collapse;}td { font-size: 10px;}.header { padding: 0px;}[/code]I just dont know how to get the filler to stretch the rest of the way across, and how to get transparency working in IE without using GIFs or flash...

moberemk Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 IE6 and below doesn't support PNG transparency. Period. There's no way for that to be fixed.

nogray Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 IE does support png but by using a filterYou can visit this page for more details http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/filter/reference/filters/AlphaImageLoader.aspBasiclly, you gonna need to replace your images with divs and set the images as backgrounds. and for IE you can use _background:none; and add the filter.There are tons of javascripts out there that can handle the whole process as well.
