hey everyone,
trying to fix a site so the transparent pngs work correctly in ie 5.5 and 6, and found supersleight recommended (http://24ways.org/2007/supersleight-transparent-png-in-ie6).
it works well on both static and hover images, showing the images how they are intended to be shown, but its not quite perfect. ie 5.5+6 think that the image has failed to load, so shows the img alt.
anyone know of a fix or work around for this?
cheers
Don't bother trying to make fixes for IE 5.5 and IE 6. These 2 browsers are the worst of all the currently used browsers - they almost completely break basic HTML and web standards. They are also 10 and 11 years old respectively - ancient, a millenium in computing terms.
Also, trying to implement support/fixes for these browsers is counter-productive to the spirit of technology, the web and most importantly your own time. We need to advance, not keep ourselves stuck in the past.
Let IE 5.5 and IE6 users enjoy the crappy experience on their crappy browsers. We are in the information age, the age of computers. There should be no excuse for using IE 5 or IE 6, period!
Don't fix it!
ha, personally i can get behind the spirit of your post.
but realistically, we all need to squeeze as much as we can out of every avenue.
w3c quotes 7.2% still browsing IE6 (http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp), and that in my opinion is quite a fair proportion to disregard without any investigation.
