How to use translucent PNG images in IE6?

Answer 1

In fact, you can use IE6 PNG Fix. There are some limitations, but overall it works just fine.

Answer 2

I have to say that I prefer DD_belatedPNG over a superstar. It is easier to implement and does not seem like a dead end. IE6 plus hover works out of the box.

Answer 3

Remember that AlphaImageLoader conversion can deadlock IE6 .

Use PNG8s instead of regular PNG32. You are limited to 256 colors and 1 bit alpha transparency, but this randomly blocks the browser.

Answer 4

Answer 5

You can not ... IE6 does not support transparent PNG. Your best bet is to use transparent GIF files and format them according to what they are viewing.
