PNG Transparency Fix for IE6
Hope somone can help with this. Basically I have a PNG image with a transparancy to sit over a gradient background, like this :
http://www.hpwebdesign.co.uk/mklink/index102.shtml
The little graphics next to campaign metrics are OK, but the main header image they sit in with the light blue gradient and hand graphic etc is not - the little areas around the curved corners should be transparent but are not (in IE6).
I assume this is because that is a background image for the <div> being referenced in the CSS, rather than dropped into the page directly.
So I guess my question is can this be overcome?
Thanks.
IE 6 doesn't support transparent PNGs natively. You will either have to resort to Javascript hacks to force IE 6 to render it correctly (although these do not work for repeated background images in CSS), use a lowest common denominator image format (GIF), or use conditional commenting to give IE 6 it's own stylesheet with it's own image to get something somewhat like what the other browsers will see.
Or just not worry what IE 6 sees as long as your site content is accessible and usable.

Png transparency issues in IE6
I've had an absolutely lovely time today trying to make my
header logo (a transparent .png) display correctly in IE6. I guess
I might be better off giving up on it, but at this point I don't
want to let go of it (plus I'd like the page to look better). I
used the pngfix.js fix from
Bob
Osala's site. I put the JavaScript in the same folder as my
template, and followed the instructions given on the site.
When I check the template page in IE6 it looks just fine, but
when I check the web pages using the template, the logo displays
with the dreaded bluish gray background. Here's what my test page
looks like:
Feed-back.com test
page
IE6 doesn't even see the code. I obviously don't understand
how this works. Anybody have any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks,
DanaDana,
Your page is looking for the pngfix.js here but it's not
there.
http://feed-back.com/pngfix.js
I typically place my scripts into a folder called Scripts. So
my code would
look like this:
<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<script defer type="text/javascript"
src="Scripts/pngfix.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
Also, just so you know, pngfix.js doesn't work on background
images.

Hello.
I've been working on a CSS drop down menu for my website
which works fine in Internet Explorer 7 and all other modern
browsers. But I used Browsershots.org to have a look at the site in
IE6 and it was terrible. I am using Windows Vista so there is no
way of me getting IE 6 on this machine (MultipleIE's doesn't work).
So I need some help fixing for IE6. Page url is

hi everyone. i'm doing a new site and decided to go with pngs
for my
topper graphic with transparency since gif is supposedly
dead, or
whatever. i searched here and the web for a good fix for IE6-
and
decided on Supersleight
http://24ways.org/2007/supersleight-transparent-png-in-ie6).
i must be
doing something wrong because i can't for the life of me get
it to work!
the png is the background image for the topper div, but this
fix is
supposed to work on background images. also, if i put that
same image
elsewhere in the page, it still doesn't work. however, if i
put it on an
empty page with nothing but the background, it does work. so
it seems
like there must be something in my template that's causing it
to not work.
could somebody please help me?
here's a link:
http://www.pikespeakderbydames.com/new
thanks!i was afraid of that. i guess i'll go see if Project VII
knows what's up!
thanks for the help!

How to fix site display for IE6
Hello,
I posted this last week, but the issue is not yet resolved,
so I'm hoping someone else might be able to assist me. Basically, I
am troubleshooting a site that was created by someone else that
uses Javascript includes and 2 CSS files for the navigation and
presentation.
All but the Home Page does not display correctly in IE6 on
Windows XP, that is, the main content of the page wraps
left-justified and below the left-side navigation.
I've included the html code below because when you visit the
page "live", the html is different. The CSS on the sub main pages
are generated from "includes", and the correct CSS are supposedly
linked, but for some reason the tag does not display when viewing
the source code in a browser window.
The test site is: Home -

RHYou can try refreshing PPR programmatcly on that table.
Bind that table with bean and when u displaying table using some button or you navigating to that page.call this method before navigation to that page.it will re refresh the table.
Like this AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(this.getOrderLinesTableBinding()); -
I use the PluginLab menu extensions for DW, but have yet to
come across a reliable PNG fix. They claim they're working on one;
I have seen Bob Osola's and will try to get it to work in the
meantime...
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/bobosola/index.htmHi,
Hmmm. I think you have a great point there. In my opinion, I
think that there is no png fix for background images. Use jpegs
with background. I do the same.

PNG fix for background images?
I am putting together an artsy-fartsy design with lots of

Otherwise I can use JPEGs with a bit of the background included

My macbook fell off the couch and now everything on the display is double and slightly transparent. Is there a fix for this other than getting it replaced?
Only an Apple Store or an authorized Apple Service Provider can determine if a repair is economically justifiable. It may be as simple as a dislodged display cable.

I am creating a website and I create stylesheets for the look and feel of the website. Because of conflicting browser engines I have to create a separate stylesheet for versions of Internet Explorer.
I have noticed that FF 3.6 is using the conditional stylesheet I created only for IE6. Please help, this is not happening in later versions of FF or any other browsers.
ThanksThere are solutions for those interface issues, but to address your question about keeping the old version, make sure your auto-update is set to ask you before updating you.

PyGtk/Python 2.0 png transparency help
I've googled and tried to solve this myself for the past few hours to no avail, so i'm hoping someone will be able to help. I installed gmail-notify and decided i wanted to make the popup transparent, so i started looking into the .py file. Even though i'm learning C, and some Assembly, i just can't fully understand python and the gtk library and the frustration is starting to get me. So basically what i'm trying to achieve is to make the image that pops up (background.png) transparent. I'm running stand-alone Openbox, with Cairo. And iv'e made the alpha layers and all that too in the png image. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Want to create an oval vignette in photoshop elements 10 with transparent background for printing w
I am fairly new to PSE and I want to create an oval vignette in Photoshop Elements 10 with transparent background for printing on white paper using MS Publisher. Using the white background on inverse selection makes a slight line impression and either it should have a defined "frame" or nothing.
Appreciate any guidance.Try with the Elliptical marquee tool:
On the tool's option bar set feather 25-40 px (experiment)
Drag out the Ellipse to embrace the object
Go to Layer>new>layer via copy, or CTRL+J
Your selection should fade out as a vignette and be surrounded by transparency
Save this layer via File>save for web, select PNG-24, and tick "Transparency" -
Adobe Flash Player 10 Fix for WinXP and Vista, IE7, IE8, Firefox, ect.(New Fast Fix)
(This is a possible solution for most users) I have found that inside the folder C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash (WinXP Home/Pro) (Computer > C: Drive > Windows > System32 > Macromed > Flash for Vista) there should be a file named FlashUtil10b.exe (IF NOT YOU SHOULD UPDATE AS SPECIFIED!) (or FlashUtil10a.exe or for older versions something similar depending on your version), which is the update utility for flash player. Click on this and if it updates, you will have to restart your computer. This should fix any missing files, and update you to the latest version.
On a side note to all those who read this, I downloaded and installed 5 different times, the same version, from different websites, all for the "new" flash version, and they didn't work (this also included trying to update Shockwave player itself). Apparently, going directly to the website and downloading a new version of Adobe Flash Player, and installing, doesn't uninstall the older version, (though it says it does nor does the uninstaller work directly from the website) nor fixes the problem. I assume they are aware of this problem, because they included this bug fix in revision 10b. This fix should work for those of you whom cannot view/see flash images as well. There also appears to be a bug/reference problem with the installation of IE8 giving the error "Missing Shockwave Decompression XTRA", when trying to play a Shockwave/Flash file, which seems also to affect Firefox and other browsers. It doesn't recognize that the folder or files that it needs in it, exist. I never had his problem before, until IE8 was installed. I checked which version I had in the system32 folder and found this updater built in to Adobe. Version 10a does NOT automatically update, but version 10b includes this fix. I currently had version 10a when I received this error, and began digging for a solution. Doing the update as described above fixed the problem, and updated it to version 10b.
The new flash version 10b has some new features, such as volume control, auto-updating, and several rendering options for those who may have a faster or slower computer/video card.
I found this works great for XP users but unsure of the Vista users. The process is the same for Vista and the update should still work the same, as long as you run it as Administrator, I assume. I have this also posted on wwwdslreports.com at http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22115254-IE-IE8-and-Adobe-Flash-Question and here http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22361930-Adobe-Flash-Player-10-Fix-for-WinXP-IE 8-Firefox-ect. It appears to work for everyone so far. I have not heard of any problems from users with this problem running the RC (Release Canidate) for Windows 7 yet.
I hope this works to your benefit.
Please leave a reply to help Adobe and other users know if this fix worked for you or not. If not, please explain what you did, and the effects your seeing, including operating system, site of the flash file trying to view, browser type (ex. IE6, IE7, IE8, Firefox, Opera, ect.), and I will try to help you as best I can.
(I would strongly recommend those not using IE8, or Firefox 3.5, get the updated versions)
If your looking for uninstallers go to this site: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
If your looking for a true full install, you can download this developer version for Windows and Mac: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/10/flash_player_update2_flash10.zi p (44MB) (If you download this, I would recommend you still follow my instructions for the Flash Utility before restarting your computer.)I would recommend all users having problems try the above solution first.
I have posted this on a couple of websites, and so far it has fixed everyones problems.
Firefox 3.5 Beta 4 has Adobe Flash Player coding built into the browser so that it not only loads faster but works better.
You still need to have the Adobe ActiveX plug-in and Adobe Flash Player for both browsers.
I would also recommend you download Shockwave Player 11.
IE8 has tried this as well, but it still has a couple bugs in it.
If you have IE8 or FireFox 3.5 Beta 4, and you are still having problems, then I recommend that you go to www.windowsupdate.com and get all of the latest updates (including SP3), then try this fix again.
Your auto-updater built into windows (If you even have it on) doesn't always pull down every update available for your computer. It only pulls down the manditory ones.
Sometimes you HAVE to go to the website and manually get them yourself. I recommend when you go to the website, you click on custom install and pick every last one of them to install, which includes, hardware and software fixes for your computer.
What a lot of people don't know is that when you have installed and tried all of the recommended fixes that Adobe gives you, and it still doesn't work, is that you are having registry conflicts within your Operating System (OS ex. WinXP, Vista, Linux, ect.), and that it is not the Adobe software at all.
Those are usually repaired by making sure your computer stays up to date.
The fact is the computer world is changing so rapidly that everyone can't keep up. You have to check for updates weekly.
If you fall behind on those updates, then you start having problems with your computer and/or software.
One problem then can turn into many and people get frustrated when something all the sudden just quits working.
Take a day or two at least once a month, and make sure you update and maintain your computer.
This includes disk defragmenting, disk cleanup, and making sure you have all the lastest updates.
You can get to Disk Defrag, and Disk Cleanup by going to Start, All Programs, Accessories, then to System Tools.
I would do Disk Cleanup first, then Defrag.
I hope you take this advise into consideration, and that it is very helpful for you.
If you find this useful, please come back and reply to this forum, and let everyone know so that others will be encouraged to do this.
Thanks and goodluck, from another user like you.
