PNG transparency

There's a bug in IE that doesn't allow variable PNG transparency when using normal <img> tags. Mozilla works properly.

What you have to do is use, tada, IE-proprietary code. Here's a sample: instead of using:

Code:

<img width="500" height="100" src="strip.png">

use

Code:

<div style="width:500px; height:100px;
    filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='strip.png')">
    &nbsp;
</div>

instead. Be sure to specify the correct width and height in the <div> tag as shown; otherwise the image might not be shown or be cropped.

MS doesn't outright state this as a bug, but it is mentioned in their knowledgebase: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q294714
