    Hi guys I'm trying to use PNG image with transparency, It works great in FF and IE 7 but so some reason it doesn't work in IE 6 and below.
    I tried some of the fixes that came up in Google but none seem to be working they all show a light blue rather then the transparency.

    Will someone be able to help me out with this, please

    Cheers

    We can't do anything, can we? That's why FF > IE

    Do you have to use a 32-bit PNG? If not just use an 8-bit one and it'll work fine.

    There is a jQuery plugin that does what you want it to do. It will let you target all images or just specific images. You can never go wrong with this method.

    http://plugins.jquery.com/project/iepngfix

    As for the person that said an 8-bit PNG, this is very true. But the graphic ability is limited than that of a 24 or 32 bit PNG.

    I also have the same problem before. You can always put the color of the background to the bg of the image. That's what I do on some of my images.

    Microsoft fixed that in July 2005, that's 4 years ago.... If you're using a browser that's half a decade old, there's a lot more than simply PNG's that won't work correctly.

    Seriously though, quite literally every browser except for IE, has supported PNG with transparency for a LONG LONG time, and IE since 2006 has had support for it.
