How can I use semi-transparent png images in IE6?
A:
You can't... IE6 doesn't support transparent PNGs. Your best option is to use transparent GIFs and format them to match the background they go over.

What it actually doesn't support is semi-transparent (or: translucent) PNG.

In fact you can using IE6 PNG Fix. There are some limitations, but overall, it works just fine.

Be aware that the AlphaImageLoader transform can deadlock IE6.
Use PNG8s instead of regular PNG32s. You are restricted to 256 colors and 1 bit of alpha transparency, but it beats randomly deadlocking the browser.

You can actually have 8 bits of alpha transparency in a PNG8 image, but IE6 will only render completely transparent or completely opaque. Other browsers render the 8-bit transparency just fine.

True, the PNG8 format has 256 levels of transparency, but as far as IE6 is concerned, it's all or nothing.

I have to say I prefer DD_belatedPNG over supersleight. It's way easier to implement and doesn't seem to deadlock IE6 plus hover works out of the box.
