Transparent PNG support for IE 6, 5.5
Tired of compromising your beautiful designs or being forced to find work-arounds that don’t work when using transparent PNGs? There is a way… By invoking the CSS behavior found in this script you can add decent PNG support to IE5.5+ on Windows with no changes to your website HTML source code. And since this method uses CSS “behaviors,” a custom Microsoft extension to CSS, it will not affect any other browsers like Mozilla and Opera which already implement good PNG support.
There are a few drawbacks, including the inability to download PNG images (which could be considered a feature), and other scripts that generate image files may need to be modified to add the .PNG extension; but consider the benefits: near-native PNG support with full alpha opacity, with only one line in your CSS file, that applies to all tags and also background images!
