Um, does anyone know how that works? Does IE6 natively support some kind of png transparency?
EDIT: ah, like that: http://calendar.perfplanet.com/2010/png-that-works/#8bit+alpha http://calendar.perfplanet.com/2010/png-that-works/#8bit+alp...
- zinssmeister 14y agowho the heck still cares about what IE6 does?!
- grecy 14y agoAnyone developing for health-care, government, etc. Heck, I'm sitting here on XP, developing specifically for IE6 and nothing else.

- grecy 14y agoAlthough IE6 has it's share of problems, it's actually kind of simple developing for one single version of one browser. Once you get used to the quirks, they are constants. (Note: I'm not saying I like it, just that it's become "normal")
- mixmastamyk 14y agoI think he's just curious about how IE6 was tricked into supporting it.
- crazygringo 14y agoWoah! How is it 2012, and only now I discover that there exist PNG files where transparency works in IE6 ??? What the hell? I mean, this would have actually been really useful for me... like, five years ago.
- amishforkfight 14y agoPNG8 (which IE6 supports) has had support for alpha transparency for a long time, but only Fireworks was able to create those files. I'm guessing that these guys are making PNG8s? I haven't tested the site myself.
- ars 14y agoFireworks is not the only program that can create those files. I've never even heard of fireworks and I create indexed pngs with transparency all the time.
