Adam Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Hi guys. Just working on a new design project that seems to make use of a lot of PNG images. Just wondering what you guys generally use to fix PNG support for IE6 versions and below? Several methods available but what's the most reliable, light-weight fix?

Adam Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 Hah, yeah good point. I have mentioned to the client several times to upgrade his browser but so far he's not been interested. I've requested some stats on his current site to find out exactly what % of his users use IE6 or below and I'll go from there. I fear though that the target audience are those more likely to be using IE6.

.josh Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 the current status is people begrudgingly cater to IE6 most of the time. They do not cater to anything below. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/179608-solved/#findComment-947748 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcombs_31 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 You can try any of these that are mentioned http://net.tutsplus.com/videos/screencasts/5-easy-ways-to-tackle-ie6s-transparency-issues/ To be honest, I've pretty much thrown in the towel on IE6. I've actually stopped even looking at it. I'm going to just start using a conditional banner at the top, like the opposite of the corny ones you used to see in footers (this site best viewed in blah blah). Rather than that, i'll just say the website may not look exactly as intended, and kindly upgrade or try one of these free browsers, x -y -z. I really like using transparent pngs as background images and its more of a pain then it is worth to cater to ie6. edit: I've used the ie7 fix, twin helix, and ddbelated, I think the IE7 fix was the easiest to implement but required you to rename transparent pngs to name_trans.png.

.josh Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 believe me if I could tell the clients no I won't cater to IE6 I would. But it's not my call to make Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/179608-solved/#findComment-947803 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 Unfortunately seems to be the same case here for me too. Cheers jcombs for the link. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/179608-solved/#findComment-947823 Share on other sites More sharing options...
