Incredible, I guess you learn something new every day. I didn’t know that IE 6 (and earlier) did not support the alpha transparency in PNG files.
I Googled it… apparently a lot of other people have come across this issue. Honestly I was tempted to tell my readers to upgrade to IE 7 or use Firefox instead, but decided that wouldn’t be a good example to set to my readers.
The solution I found was this on Bob Osola’s site: “The PNG problem in Windows Internet Explorer“.
