Hi, I have problem making my website compatible to Internet Explorer browser with below version 6. First I want to know if my process is efficient. How do you check your website to various browsers? I currently use browsershots.org. Is it alright to make user upgrade their IE if their using a lower version of Internet Explorer? (example: We have detected that your currently using a old version of Internet Explorer and our website may not be rendered properly. Please upgrade your IE or use firefox.) Is it ok to use that technique? I use png in my css background and in my html (background: url(sometransparent.png); and <img src=â€sometransparent.png “ />) but I have problem rendering it to old Internet Explorer (version 5-6). The .pngs that I used were rendered with a gray background. I have tried some png fix but no success. Any advice? (I have no plan using gifs) In designing a website do you consider your website to be compatible to Internet Explorer version 5-5.5? Thank You!
I've seen those upgrade to new IE or firefox on a couple of sites and it puts me off. I haven't upgraded, just not used those sites again. As for your png, IE 6 does not support tansparent pngs so your best bet would be to use an alternate background image for IE 6 About 2% of vistiors to my site use IE 5. Most use IE 7
I have searched for such solution, but i've nothing to find. I'm using gif as png alternative or jpg with fixed background color.
