Happy Sunday all (unless you're coding CSS!)...

Think this is the first time I've posted for help, hope someone is listening :)

I think the topic sums up my cry for help quite well! I have a PNG fix that works on foreground images okay but I really could do with one that work with background too...

    i presume you mean to enable the alpha channel of a png in the background to display on internet explorer prior to version 7?

    background of the body or block elements?

    Yes, sorry, to allow the alpha, of (the bg of) a block element...

    its js - which is sucky, but needs must

    because of the legacy issue, there comes a time when it is worth continuing to support older browsers, but be willing to accpt you aren't delivering identical content to them. in some cases, however, i have found that working differently for IE<7 using conditionals can be preferable - depends what you are after of course.

    ...yes, that was crossing my mind too (IE<7). I know I can fix it other way to, by simply breaking the background down too, so was just really seeing if I could give myself more options (and keep the >7 approach)...

    Ta for the guidance, hope I can return the favour some time...

    I use this. It doesn't like postioned BG elements, but it's fine if they are set 0 0.

    I too use a conditional because you ony need it for ie6.

    the link i posted above is the same method but fixed to address the problems you state

    the one you posted is also what i have used til now when i searched following peak's question - so i haven't tested the fix

    <!-- [if lt IE 7]>
    You are using IE<7
    <![endif]-->
    for anyone unfamiliar with conditionals
