Default PNG Transperency In IE

Hi,
I have tried the following sites:
24 ways: Transparent PNGs in Internet Explorer 6 which made my site go like this http://everythingsfree.org/image//im...5421pngfix.jpg
and IE PNG Fix - TwinHelix which made my site go like this http://everythingsfree.org/image//im...ansperency.jpg

i just wondered if aanyone else had a solution to this that actually works correctly?
Cheers,
Nick

You are always going to struggle when trying to accommodate users with old browsers. IE 7 has been out for over 3 years. IE 8 is just around the corner with BETA version available for download.

It is a whole lot easier to advise your clients to ugrade to the latest software rather than trying to make your page fit to their OLD needs. You can use DOM instructions to recognize the browser and have a popup stating 'You are using a really old crappy browser, to enjoy the site in its full glorious state, please upgrade your 5 year old browser which is now redundant'

Oh the joys of IE. Just like netscape used to be.

I can really be a pain to try and accommodate your site for every browser and I am sure it is possible. But you might be spending way to much time for not a lot of visitors. I would recommend using something like Google Analytics and just see how many users are actually using the browser you are trying to get it to work for. You may see it is not worth and then again may see it is worth it.

Why not just convert your png files to gif files.

By converting to gif the quality went terrible but the size went down heaps. Do you know of a converter that keeps the quality? i was using photoshop.
Cheers

Photoshop allows you set set the quality in every detail when you use the save for web option.

I thought I found the perfect fix for this from this site:

jquery.pngFix.js - PNG transparency for Windows IE 5.5 & 6 (IE PNG Fix)

BUT

A few days later I noticed the pop-up calendar not popping up anymore due to some conflication with jquery-1.2.1.pack.js I'm guessing.

I opened this file up to see if there was anything obvious to delete, but have no idea...

Unless you'd be able to find the conflict in this file, the search goes on

I haven't yet...

The strange thing is, I commented out:

<!--<script type="text/javascript" src="javascript/jquery/jquery-1.2.1.pack.js"></script>-->

And the transparency still works fine in IE6 anyway, so maybe its ok. I hope.
