Use a background image with an inherent transparency and put it in an
appropriate container.

A GIF. IE has problems with PNGs that have transparencies. Which is a
giant PITA since GIFs have a limited color range.
There is a workaround using a MS proprietary function. Search for "png
transparency ie alpha channel."

I realize there are lots of IE6 systems out there to contend with, but:
has MS not even fixed that in IE7?

I didn't know that. I normally used PNG's for images and never thought
that IE have problems with it. @#$%&! stupid MS.

Looks like MS has been aware of the issue back at least to IE 5.5.

Note that I wasn't recommending the MS kludge. I was only showing that
that was the most they did with the problem for years, being MS.

That isn't entirely true. IE has problems with png alpha transparency.
Not all transparencies need the alpha channel.

You can get the same result as gif with png, just use an indexed
transparency instead of the alpha channel. Same 256 colors as gif. I do
it all the time.

FYI, this does require ActiveX enabled to work, so be warned.

I know you don't recommending the MS kludge. But still thanks mate.
