IE png fix

HTML & CSS
1

I’m using, or at least that is my intention, a png fix for IE6 but the one I found isn’t working properly. Can someone point me to a good functioning png fix.

Thank you

I didn’t try TwinHelix as yet, but if what you say is true? What would be your proposed fix?

which is why i believe a better way is to provide a different/second set of png’s especially for ie6. this thread could help you more.

The problem with all IE6 pngfixes is that they leverage IE behaviours to do the work. This is fine, except they are synchronous - every image is handled one at a time, which can enormously slow down the display if you have lots of them…

I had finally the time to try the different solutions. I ended up trying Jamies one and I’m happy about it. Thanks for the other solution as well.

This is a popular one:

Which one have you been using?

This is the best technique I have found, works well with background images / repeats and very easy to set up. As mentioned in another thread it seems to use some absolute/relative positioning which can cause issues with drop down menus etc

I do a lot of work for some big names in the motor industry who mostly still use IE6, The IE6 PNG issue comes up all the time.

We use http://www.dillerdesign.com/experiment/DD_belatedPNG/

It is simple to setup, add the js file and add the ids or classes of the images you want to fix. It also fixes PNG background images which most others don’t.

Hope you find it as helpful as I have :slight_smile:

A little warning from my use of TwinHelix’s png fix: it freezes (and even crashes) IE6 when dealing with repeated (either horizontal or vertical) png images.

Thank you for the link ralph :slight_smile:

I am using this one pngfix

The strange thing is though, it was working for some time. I use IE tester to see if it works, so now I wonder if here the tester is the problem
