Setting PNG as background for container layer!!

[iPixel]

I've googled and googled and i just cannot get it to work in IE6 !! Im dying here! Help?!

 

My container div

 

#container
{
width:1017px;
min-height:100%;
margin:0 auto;
margin-top:0px;
background-image:url('images/tallBG.png');
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='tallBG.png',sizingMethod='scale');
background-repeat:repeat-y;
}

 

it's a simple background with drop shadows on each edge, and the transparent part well is not transparent in IE6. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

 

Thanks 2 All who help.

IE6 does not support transparent pngs ... yeah, yet another "What were we thinking?" moment brought to you by Microsoft.

 

When I want to use a transparent png, I use the PNG for modern browsers, then make a duplicate graphic as a tranparent gif and use a conditional comment to parse it for IE6.

 

It doesn't look as good, but it is better than nothing.

Or you could just code/develop for IE7 and up.
