PNG Transparency Support on Table Cell backgrounds on IE

[TheJester]

Hi all,

 

I'm having some trouble with Internet Explorer and it's lack of PNG Transparency support.

 

I've attempted at least a dozen methods of enabling the support, but all seem to be for <img ... > tags, where as I'm attempting to fix it as a table cell background.

 

<td background="images/gradient.png" style="vertical-align: top;">

 

like so.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is no such animal as .png transparency support in IE - no matter what you do.

 

You'll have to fake it e.g. overlaying the background image with another image that uses the same background.

I had originally done that but the background I'm using now is patterned and static, not plain.

 

What IE does to it:

 

 

 

What it should look like:

Nevermind, thanks for your help anyway.

 

I managed to sort it using some CSS (I should have used it in the first place, really).

This is not strictly true.

There is support - but you have to use a bit of JavaScript to fix it.

 

Drop me a PM if you still need info.
