IE 5.5 - IE6 png transparency support?

[unenergizer]

Well the layout on my site consist of png transparent borders. I viewed the site on a IE5.5 and IE6 browser and I'm getting a "nasty" white background effect under the transparent images. I know there are javascript fixes for this. What I need is a suggestion on which would be the best for me to use in my situation. I have done a Google search and I have found some results, but I would like a second opinion. What would you do in my situation?

GIF transparencies are NOT an option.

I would really like to know this too, since i have tried to apply several activex / javascript fix's and i was never able to get it working in vb which is a shame.

What you can do is use IE conditionals and wrap the call to the JavaScript fix in them. Other browsers will see them as a comment and ignore them.

Here's a sample:

<!--[if (gt IE 5)&(lt IE 7)]>
Javascript or call to JS file that will be used if IE's version is less than 7.
<![endif]-->

So IE7 will ignore it, IE6 and IE5.5 will execute the code, and IE5 and lower will ignore it (because the fix doesn't work in those versions anyway).

Basically they're the same fix. The Javascript version is using a DirectX filter that IE understands.

Thanks for that, I came across that once .

Yes but when i tried to intergrate that code into the vb it doesnt work. Am i doing something wrong or does it not work for other people?

Thanks guys. I got the fix in place and I was able to test it out at http://www.browsercam.com/ for browser compatibility.
