DD_belatedPNG

  • You can use 24-bit alpha-translucent PNG images for the background-image CSS property in Internet Explorer 6.
  • Support for background-position and background-repeat. Apparently Angus of TwinHelix has also figured out a way!
  • There is no usage of AlphaImageLoader, so this doesn't have the buggy z-indexing associated with that filter.
  • Responds to Javascript element.style assignments and the :hover pseudo-class.
  • ~7.5Kb uncompressed … ~6Kb compressed
  • Easy implementation:
    <!--[if IE 6]>
    <script src="DD_belatedPNG.js"></script>
    <script>
    DD_belatedPNG.fix('.png_bg'); //EXAMPLE
    </script>
    <![endif]-->
