That's where this script fits in. It's an IE5.5+ 'behaviour' that you can upload, place
one line in your CSS file, and forget. The HTC file will then automatically add near-native PNG
support to IMG elements and (unlike many other PNG fix scripts) also supports any element with a
"background-image:" CSS property, with <B>no alterations to the page HTML!</B></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.twinhelix.com/css/iepngfix/demo/"><H4>Known Issues</H4></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.twinhelix.com/css/iepngfix/demo/"><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">Background PNG images can't be tiled. This is a limitation of the IE filter.</LI></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.twinhelix.com/css/iepngfix/demo/"><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">It's most reliable on elements with non-'auto' dimensions set. So, give images and
  other elements width/height values; '100%', '10em' and '200px' and so on are all OK.</LI></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.twinhelix.com/css/iepngfix/demo/"><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">Similarly, padding and borders don't indent the PNG image. An easy fix for
  this is wrapping your PNG images in container DIVs or similar.</LI></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.twinhelix.com/css/iepngfix/demo/"><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">There may be about a short time as soon as the image loads when images are not
  transparent, before the IE filter kicks in.</LI></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/189463E0-8F2C-4126-9A69-28F49B8FFDD2/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
